Body
BACKGROUND:
Note: This agenda item is subject to Hideaway Beach Tax District Board approval in advance of the November 16, 2026, City Council meeting.
The Sand Dollar Island sand spit serves as a nature-based coastal defense, helping protect this area of Marco Island from storm impacts and coastal erosion. Wind and wave action associated with Hurricane Isaias and the recent October king tides caused an overwash of the sand spit berm, resulting in sand migrating into the flow channel connecting Tigertail Lagoon to the Gulf.
Recovery and relocation of the migrated sand are necessary to restore the berm and reestablish its coastal protection function.
The restoration work is scheduled to be completed by February 15, 2027.
At its November meeting, the Hideaway Beach Tax District Board authorized the expenditure of $198,500 in District funds for this restoration work.
Earth Tech Enterprises, Inc. has successfully completed previous restoration efforts. The City intends to utilize the vendor through a piggyback purchasing arrangement under Collier County Contract No. 21-7885.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT:
The necessary funds are available in the FY 2027 Hideaway Beach Tax District budget. Funding for this Purchase Order will be provided through the District's REPAIR & MAINTENANCE account, G/L No. 150-5700-5371-524600.
