This item concerns a requirement for a 100% gopher tortoise burrow survey for a future development. The survey must follow FFWCC guidelines and be submitted at the time of site development. If occupied burrows are found, a relocation permit and after action report are needed before construction can start. If construction is delayed more than 90 days after the survey, a new survey and permit may be required. This is currently under review. The work would involve ecological surveys, permitting, and potentially wildlife relocation. Contractors specializing in environmental consulting, site assessment, and wildlife management could be involved. Reaching out early allows businesses to understand the project's needs before formal bids and permits are issued.
