Escambia County is seeking bids for installation of native vegetation, post and rope, sand fencing and signage along the gulf-frontal beach and scrub dune habitats on Perdido Key in support of the Escambia County Dune Matrix Enhancement Project, funded by the NFWF National Coastal Resiliency Fund.

Installation activities must comply with the contract drawings attached, associated Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) field permit and Technical Specification documents (attached). Contractor is responsible for securing additional permits/approvals prior to conducting installation activities including, but not limited to, beach driving permits, and business licenses.

Activities will include installation of native dune vegetation along the seaward edge of the primary dune, infill plantings north of the primary dune line, and installation of signage and sand fencing as appropriate. The purpose is to enhance the resiliency of natural dune habitats against future storm events and improve plant species richness and diversity for the benefit of coastal wildlife.
