Only one company bid on the project to beautify the entrance to St. George Island

Only one company bid on the project to beautify the entrance to St. George Island.


Franklin County Commissioners opened bids on Tuesday; the sole bidder was Lawnscape of Bay County.


Their bid came in at $129,300.


The bid will have to be checked to make sure it meets all requirements and whether it falls within the budget for the job and county commissioners will give it a final vote in two weeks.


In February the County was awarded a nearly 100 thousand dollar grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection that will allow them to improve and beautify the state-owned land between the St. George Island Bridge and lighthouse park.


The money will pay for whatever materials are needed for landscaping the state-owned land though it will fall to the county Parks and Recreation department to maintain the landscaping once its finished.


The plans call for a low maintenance landscape so it should not add a lot of work for county workers and the St. George Island Civic Club has said it will provide volunteers to help with the maintenance.
