# St. Lucie County Awards Fort Pierce Dredging Contract

St. Lucie County awarded Cavache Inc. a $1,894,280.30 contract to remove approximately 68,000 cubic yards of sand from the Fort Pierce Inlet sediment trap and place beach-compatible material on Fort Pierce Beach near Jetty Park. Construction is scheduled to begin in early November 2026, with work planned seven days a week and 24 hours a day to finish before January 31, 2027. The award is complete, not an open solicitation, but the accelerated schedule may create near-term support needs for local subcontractors and suppliers.

- The award covers inlet dredging and beach placement; firms with relevant equipment, materials, or support services can assess whether they can support Cavache during the construction period.
- The continuous work schedule and January 31, 2027 completion target make timely coordination important for any local firms seeking a role.
- For project information, contact St. Lucie County Senior Project Manager James Beams at 772-462-6735 or James.A.Beams@stlucieco.gov.
