Erosion District · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Erosion District is considering a request for additional funding for the Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project. This project involves the purchase of sand for beach nourishment. The district is planning to distribute an additional $572,000 to the US Army Corps of Engineers for this purpose. The project is currently under review and has been recommended for board approval. This effort will involve site preparation and the placement of large quantities of sand. The project is expected to involve placing upwards of 400,000 cubic yards of sand in the coming weeks, with the overall federal project extended through 2032. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and material supply, particularly sand, could find opportunities as this project moves forward. Engaging early before final bids and permits are set could provide a competitive advantage.
