The City of St. Augustine is seeking the services of a qualified and licensed Florida contractor for construction of improvements to the existing seawall located along Inlet Drive (between 117 and 151 Inlet Drive) in St. Augustine, Florida.  The project (precast concrete segmented block wall with concrete cap, stormwater upgrades, see Bid Tabulation) shall be completed no later than June 1, 2026.  This project is currently funded through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Resilient Florida Grant Program.

The existing coquina block wall cap elevation is approximately 4.5 feet (NAVD88). The new retaining wall shall be constructed to an elevation of 8.75 feet (NAVD88) top of wall and will connect to the existing walls that are located on either end of the project.Additionally, two (2) existing curb inlets and the existing 12” diameter corrugated metal pipe (CMP) with associated stormwater outfalls shall be raised and replaced by 14”x23” elliptical reinforced concrete pipe (ERCP) and retrofitted to include a tidal check valve.
