Two companies have provided qualifications to oversee a County Wide Dune Restoration Study and four others have shown an interest in providing Professional Consultant Services for a St. George Island Storm Water Drainage Improvement Project.
Franklin County commissioners opened the qualifications last week.
The county plans to restore storm-damaged dunes on St. George Island between 12th street east and 12th street west where most of the public beaches are.
The project would be similar to the dune restoration project at Mexico Beach that includes dune building and planting sea oats.
They are also seeking money to build beaches and dunes for about 6000 feet parallel to Alligator Drive at Alligator Point.
The county is also working to improve storm water drainage on St. George Island which is badly needed.
Many roads on the island, especially in the commercial district tend to hold a lot of water even after small storm events, making driving hazardous.
The qualifications opened on May the 4th are now being evaluated by a committee who will bring a recommendation to the next county commission meeting for a final decision.
