Gatehouse renovation package ready for submittal; SFWMD approves drainage repairs
Summary
Staff said the submittal package for Pelican Sound gatehouse renovations is ready pending Bowman Inc. checks; South Florida Water Management District approved drainage repairs and a pre-construction meeting is set for June 1, 2026. Staff expects contract execution and work to begin in June.
District staff and consultants told the board the gatehouse renovation submittal package is ready for submission to the Village of Estero once Bowman Inc. issues required checks; processing was delayed by the Memorial Day holiday. South Florida Water Management District has approved the drainage repairs, and a virtual pre‑construction meeting with SFWMD and Village officials is scheduled for June 1, 2026.
Mr. Long said that "after the pre-construction meeting, the contract will be executed and the work will commence in June," and staff expects initial work in Oak Run (behind Turnberry). Staff also described conduit, transformer, wells and water-quality testing, and noted Oak Run will not connect downspouts due to cost, favoring sheet flow into new inlets.
