Contractor Selected For Canal Construction

HOLLYWOOD - At a Feb. 22 Special Meeting, the Tribal Council, after reviewing the bid evaluation results and contractor recommendations, chose the Murphy Construction Company to begin construction on the East Conveyance Canal in Big Cypress.

The construction of the East Conveyance Canal and four water-storage areas is Phase I of the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Water Conservation Plan Critical Restoration Project (WCP). The WCP is a joint effort between the Seminole Tribe and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The official groundbreaking for the project was held on Jan. 15.

The construction contract with Murphy Construction Company is set to begin on March 7 and should last until Mar. 6. According to Water Resources Department Director Craig Tepper, construction costs will total about $7 million.

Tepper estimated that it would take approximately 300 actual construction days. "We’re going to try to push them," said Tepper.
