Breakwater Update! Progress
Happy New Year! Is this the year we finally get our breakwater and jetty project started and complete. We have new County Commissioners so I reached out to Commissioner Mike Estlinbaum and got a response!! Nice start. As you know - there is a pilot project in works to instal a jetty at Mitchel’s Cut and breakwaters from the cut up to stubby. We have the funding, we have the permits - we are just waiting on the RFP (request for proposal) to be released and the project awarded to a contractor. Just this week, the Texas Government Land office (GLO) released the work order to Adkins Global to begin the bid and construction phase of the project. HUGE NEWS! Note that in order for the RFP process to meet all requirements, this is probably a six month process. We will see the RFP soon, then construction firms have a chance to put together their bids, the bids are reviewed and then finally awarded. But six months from now they should begin construction! Six months to go! Fingers crossed
