HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The Port of Pensacola was awarded the subject grant as part of the 2018/2019 Florida Seaport Transportation Economic Development (FSTED) annual grant program. The funds are part of the $25 million allocated to the FSTED program by the Florida Legislature annually in accordance with Chapter 311 of Florida Statutes. Each of Florida’s 14 public deep-draft seaports can apply for funds from this program to assist in funding port capital and infrastructure improvements.
This grant is specifically for dredging Port Berths 3 and 5 to 33 feet, which is their full depth as authorized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Silting in several locations along the berths has created shallow spots where the depth alongside is currently less than 33 feet. This grant will fund engineering, design, permitting, bidding, contracting and dredging (including vendor mobilization, demobilization and dredged material disposal).
