This item concerns the maintenance of the Curry Creek section flowing through Sawgrass. The City Council of Venice will receive an update on negotiations with the Sawgrass Community Association and Sarasota County. Additionally, a potential maintenance transfer of Deertown Gully is under review. This project is currently approved and moving forward. The scope of work will likely involve ongoing maintenance activities, potentially including vegetation management, debris removal, and general upkeep of the creek and gully areas. Future phases could involve formalizing maintenance responsibilities and agreements. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, landscaping, and general maintenance could find opportunities. Engaging early before final agreements are set allows businesses to understand the project scope and prepare for potential bids.
