20. Approve STA for Ten Mile Canal Page Field Weir Replacement

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering approval of a Supplemental Task Authorization (STA) for the Ten Mile Canal Page Field Weir Replacement project. This project aims to upgrade the aging weir structure located east of Page Field Airport to improve flood resiliency. The current weir is unable to meet watershed storage needs and requires frequent repairs. The proposed upgrade involves replacing the existing structure with a remotely operable weir, which will allow for proactive stormwater management in the Ten Mile Canal during storms. This project is planned and budgeted, funded entirely by a state grant with no local match required. The STA will cover design, permitting, and construction-phase services. This work will likely involve site preparation, demolition of the old structure, installation of new mechanical and control systems, and potentially concrete and civil work. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to HighSpans Engineering, Inc. as this project moves through the review process, as opportunities for bidding and work will arise before final permits are issued.
