CDD outlines next steps for Pelican Sound gatehouse renovations after SFWMD approval
Summary
Staff reported the submittal is ready to send to the Village of Estero once checks are issued; South Florida Water Management District approved drainage repairs and a virtual pre-construction meeting is set for June 1, 2026. Contract execution and work start are expected after the meeting.
District staff briefed the River Ridge CDD Board on progress for Pelican Sound gatehouse renovations, including permitting steps, drainage approvals and an anticipated June construction start.
Charlie Krebs said the submittal package is ready for the Village of Estero but Bowman Incorporated must first issue checks before staff can submit change documents. He reported that SFWMD approved the drainage repairs, clearing a key regulatory step; a virtual pre-construction meeting with SFWMD and Village officials is scheduled for June 1, 2026.
Operations Manager Eric Long said the contract will be executed after the pre-construction meeting and that work is expected to commence in June, with Oak Run (behind Turnberry) targeted as the initial area. Staff discussed conduit, a new transformer, wells, pump stations, water quality tests and possible contingency/change orders. No vote was required at the meeting; staff will proceed with permitting and contract finalization.
