Juno Beach council approves survey and engineering contracts to advance dune walkover design
Summary
Council authorized engineering and topographic survey agreements (combined not‑to‑exceed amounts specified) to begin design of a dune walkover at JV 0, with attention to DEP rules and turtle‑season constraints; vote passed 4–1.
Council approved a package of engineering and surveying agreements to start design work on the JV 0 dune walkover, enabling site survey, civil engineering for drainage, and design of amenities. Staff said the site has a 6–7 foot elevation change and requires careful coordination with DEP and turtle‑nesting seasonal windows.
Emily (staff) described the proposal: $19,000 not to exceed for one engineering firm and other capped amounts for design and construction observation, and a topographic survey not to exceed $4,800. Council discussed RFQ/CCNA qualification rules for engineering services and noted the town’s continuing contracts with preferred firms; staff said the town is in the middle of a new RFQ process for engineering services.
Diana moved to approve the agreements and to authorize the interim town manager to execute them; the roll call vote was 4–1 in favor. Council directed staff to return with designs and schedule mindful of the dune canopy, drainage fixes and the off‑season construction window.
