SFWMD approves drainage repairs; gatehouse renovation pre‑construction meeting set for June 1
Summary
The board was told the submittal package for gatehouse renovations will be sent to the Village of Estero after vendor checks are issued; SFWMD approved drainage repairs and a virtual pre‑construction meeting with SFWMD and Village officials is scheduled for June 1, 2026.
District Engineer Charlie Krebs reported that the submittal package for Pelican Sound gatehouse renovations is ready to send to the Village of Estero but Bowman must issue vendor checks first; processing was delayed by the Memorial Day holiday and month‑end accounting.
Krebs confirmed that "South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) approval for the drainage repairs was recently received." A virtual pre‑construction meeting with SFWMD and Village of Estero officials is scheduled for June 1, 2026. Eric Long said that after the pre‑construction meeting the contract will be executed and the work should commence in June, starting in the Oak Run subdivision, and he described conduit, transformer, wells, pump stations and water quality testing considerations.
Staff expects to execute the contract after the June 1 meeting; the board discussed phasing and potential change orders as the project proceeds.
