Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering a contract change order for dune planting along Lovers Key and Bonita Beach. This project involves adding more native plants to dunes that were damaged by Hurricane Ian in September 2022. Sand placement and initial planting have already occurred. This change order, if approved, will add $135,697 to the existing contract, bringing the total to $381,488.25. The work is funded by a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. This project is currently under review. The scope of work will involve site preparation for additional planting, installation of native vegetation, and potentially ongoing maintenance. Contractors specializing in landscaping, site preparation, and environmental restoration could find opportunities. Reaching out to the project managers before final approvals could provide early insight into specific needs and timelines.
