Units 44 & 64 Maintenance Dredging Project

The Units 44 & 64 Maintenance Dredging Project, including the Cape Harbour area, is part of the City of Cape Coral’s ongoing efforts to maintain canal systems by removing accumulated sediment. This project was separated from the broader Citywide Dredging Permit following recommendations from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to expedite the permitting process and allow the project to proceed independently. The permit reverification requested on April 29, 2026, is anticipated to be finalized prior to the contract award. Sediment buildup in the canals, caused by natural processes such as stormwater runoff, erosion, tidal movements, and organic debris, reduces canal depths, impacting hydraulic capacity, stormwater conveyance, storage volume, and safe navigation for residents and city operations. Dredging will restore canal depth, support optimal stormwater management during rain events, and ensure reliable access throughout the canals. This solicitation, identified by number 2026-ITB-PW-018-KR, was posted on June 17, 2026, with a response deadline of July 22, 2026. It is managed by the Public Works department in Cape Coral, Florida, with the primary point of contact being Procurement Specialist Kelsey Reed. The project emphasizes maintaining the long-term functionality and safety of the canal system, which is critical for both environmental management and community use. Interested parties can access full details and submit responses through the City of Cape Coral’s procurement portal.
