Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

Escambia County is reviewing a recommendation for an agreement to remove the derelict vessel "Home Free" from Bayou Chico. This sailboat is a 31-foot C.E. Ryder Corp vessel. The agreement is between the State of Florida, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, and Escambia County. The project is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. Work would involve the removal of the sunken vessel. This could include marine salvage operations and disposal. Contractors specializing in marine salvage, waste disposal, and potentially environmental cleanup services could find opportunities. Early engagement with county officials may provide insight into the project timeline and specific requirements before formal bidding begins.
