D. Seawall Design and Phase 1 Construction

City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The City of Fernandina Beach is planning a seawall project. The project includes completing the engineering design and starting Phase 1 construction. The goal is to get a fully permitted design, find funding, and award a construction contract. Phase 1 construction is expected to be finished by December 31, 2026. This project will involve obtaining permits, awarding a construction contract, and then beginning site work, potentially including clearing, grading, and utility connections, followed by the seawall construction itself. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to learn more about this project as it moves through the planning and design stages. Engaging now, before final plans and bids are set, offers the best chance to compete for upcoming work.
