The St. Johns River Water Management District is soliciting proposals to construct a wingwall for a 6,500 cubic feet per second water control structure located at S-157 on the C-54 Canal east of Interstate 95 in Brevard County, Florida, adjacent to St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park. The work involves building a wingwall in an active canal environment with ongoing discharges through three vertical lift gates, requiring careful coordination to maintain operational continuity. In addition to the wingwall construction, the contract includes the rehabilitation of a manatee overlook, ensuring environmental and public access considerations are addressed.

Proposals must be submitted by September 4, 2026, with the solicitation posted on July 27, 2026, under solicitation number 7587649. The contract is issued by the Florida-based St. Johns River Water Management District, with the primary point of contact being Shari Chinevere, reachable via phone or email. The place of performance is in Palatka, Florida, though the physical work site is on the C-54 Canal in Brevard County. Interested firms should prepare comprehensive submissions addressing technical execution, environmental mitigation, scheduling, and safety protocols for working in an operational canal setting with sensitive wildlife presence.
