This is a project schedule document for the City of Fort Myers' NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection Grant project (Contract NR254209XXXXC010), detailing the timeline for comprehensive stream debris and sediment removal across multiple waterways in Lee County, Florida. The project encompasses extensive environmental restoration tasks including non-vegetative and vegetative debris removal, underwater debris removal, sediment transport, Ballard bank repair, and related restoration activities across multiple canal systems. The executed contract commenced on April 28, 2025, with a pre-design conference scheduled for May 14, 2025. The procurement solicitation was released on October 15, 2025, with a pre-submittal meeting on October 22, 2025, and proposals due on November 17, 2025. The overall project timeline extends from the executed contract date through April 10, 2026, with major phases including NRCS coordination and reviews (May–June 2025), purchasing (June–July 2025), council approval (July–August 2025), and construction execution (August 11, 2025–March 9, 2026), followed by final inspection, punchlist completion, and as-built submittal (March–April 2026).

The project is structured as a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) agreement with the City of Fort Myers as the administering agency, funded through the NRCS federal grant program. The selected contractor is responsible for providing all labor and materials for construction and required grant documentation in accordance with the plans and specifications. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with federal requirements including SAM.gov registration, E-Verify participation, Davis-Bacon wage standards, Buy America provisions, and Anti-Lobbying certifications. The procurement includes specific provisions for Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation with a standard goal of 5% for both minority and women-owned businesses, requiring completion of MBE Planned Utilization forms. Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) are encouraged to participate and must be entered into the Equal Opportunity Compliance system. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the comprehensive scope suggests significant federal funding through the NRCS grant program, with the contractor required to maintain strict cost control and environmental protection standards throughout the project duration.
