Re: SWG-2018-00678
       Sargent Breakwater and Beach Nourishment Project

 

Dear Ms. Taylor,

I write to today in support of SWG-2018-00678 Sargent Breakwater and Beach Nourishment Project.
I am a [resident – own property- second home- concerned citizen], and the erosion of this area is of great concern to me. I have followed this project from the early study phase and am happy to see the project in the permitting stage.

Our shoreline has been eroding for years, but this summer is of particular significance. The series of hurricanes and tropical storms this summer have completely exposed the revetment and removed the beach sand down to the clay layer. It is vitally important to begin construction of a project to curb the erosion and nourish our beach to restore the habitat lost. My property and that of my neighbors is at great risk, as well as the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway. Please move forward with approving the permit for this project as quickly as possible. Thank you for your consideration of this request.


Sincerely,


Your Name (printed)

They had to rebid the Sargent Breakwater project

Image
 GLO must follow very strict guidelines for awarding contracts and that is both good and bad for our project.  Good in that they found an issue with the winning bidder in the final phase of the ward - bad because it means that they have to put it out for rebid. This means the timeline starts all over again.   Commissioner Estlinbaum is just as upset as we are and is staying on GLO to ensure they expedite this process so that the project gets done.  Bid is here (it moved again as of 4/26) -  https://www.txsmartbuy.com/esbd/RFP_1790-LP This is an accelerated timeline compared to the last bid Issue Solicitation March 4, 2024  Deadline for Submitting Questions March 11, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. CT  Anticipated Release Date of Answers to Questions March 15, 2024  Deadline for Submission of Solicitation Responses (including HUB Subcontracting Plan) March 28, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. CT  Evaluation Period April 1, 2024 to April 25 2024  Contractor Selec...

Update on the San Bernard - new notice of dredging

Image
They are getting the dredging of the mouth of the San Bernard back on track with engineering and permitting started. This will help the flow of sand down our way and is a big plus for our beach nourishment.  On November 9th the Army Corp issued a notice concerning the intent to finally open the San Bernard through dredging and put the sand on our side of the mouth.  This will be a much wider dredge to ensure it stays open longer and requires less maintenance.   https://www.swg.usace.army.mil/Media/Public-Notices/Article/3584757/swg-2015-00603-brazoria-county-san-bernard-river-mouth-brazoria-county-texas/

No New Update on Breakwater project - but a video of Mitchell’s Cut on 5/24/2024

Image
 No update on the award of the breakwater / jetty project but we knew it would be more like the end of June for the full RFP process to work out.  Nothing new on the opening of the mouth of the San Bernard.  But I went down to the cut on 5/24/2024 and sent up the drone - I brought it back when a big WARNING HIGH WINDS came on my screen.  But the sand bar around the back of the cut goes pretty far now.  Always changing  Some other pics of the day at the cut and one of two Gafftops I caught and released
