20. Approve STA for Ten Mile Canal Page Field Weir Replacement

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering a Supplemental Task Authorization (STA) for the Ten Mile Canal Page Field Weir Replacement project. This project aims to upgrade the aging weir structure located east of Page Field Airport on the Ten Mile Canal. The current weir is insufficient for the watershed's storage needs and requires frequent repairs. The STA will fund professional engineering services for design, permitting, and construction-phase support to replace the existing structure with a remotely operable weir. This upgrade will allow for proactive stormwater management and increased storage capacity during storm events. This planned and budgeted project is funded by a state grant, with no local match required. The work will likely involve site assessment, design engineering, permitting, and then construction, including potential demolition, civil work, and installation of automated control systems. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in civil engineering, site preparation, construction, and specialized equipment installation may find opportunities as this project moves through the review process. Early engagement is advised before final bid packages and permits are issued.
