Pine Island Park Repair Update

Pine Island Park Hurricane Idalia repairs are underway with a permit issued on Feb. 13. The contractor chosen to complete the work after the bid process was Seggie Custom Builders, LLC. According to the permit application, the valuation of work to be done is $374,463.29.

Some recent work that has been completed includes the construction of forms for the concrete slab that the new storage container will be installed on. This slab will have integrated anchors for the storage container to be fastened to so future high-water events will not move the container.

The contractor excavated for the new main parking lot sidewalk as well as for the concrete forms that will be used to set posts for the sand retention fence that runs between the sidewalk and the beach. Concrete has been poured for the sidewalks.

Currently the contractor is building the sand retention walls throughout the site. According to the County, there is approx. 900’ of this fence that needs to be built, making this is a major component of this project. Also, under construction is an ADA compliant ramp that will provide access to the playground area.
