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

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering a contract change order for repairs to the Matlacha Bridge. This change order, proposed by Seacoast Inc, addresses additional work needed due to Hurricane Ian damage. Specifically, the submarine cable, fender system piles, and rip rap were found to require more extensive repairs than initially planned. The proposed change order increases the contract cost by $443,430.18 and adds 52 days to the project timeline. This item is currently under review by the Board. The project involves significant repair work, including potential underwater cable work, pile repair, and rip rap installation. These repairs will likely require specialized equipment and skilled labor. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in bridge repair, marine construction, and heavy civil engineering may find opportunities. Engaging early could provide an advantage as funding and final approvals are being processed.
