City of Tarpon Springs

Tarpon Springs is the lowest city land area in Pinellas County and is the greatest at risk to flooding. The sidewalks and City dock on Spring Bayou are frequently underwater. This has also caused structural problems. Access to the scenic Spring Bayou area is often barricaded to pedestrian access. Replacement of the aging, historic seawall and sidewalk along Spring Bayou at Craig Park is necessary. The new seawall and sidewalk would be installed at a higher elevation to address sea level rise. Craig Park is over 130 years old and has 1,910 feet of seawall and waterfront sidewalk facilities. The existing seawall and waterfront sidewalk on Spring Bayou is suffering severe deficiencies having been constructed at a low elevation when originally installed in the 1880s. Recently the sidewalks are submerged three to four times per month. The increase in the frequency of the flooding has accelerated deterioration of the structural steel within the concrete sidewalks; and because of this structural failure, the sidewalks are often barricaded until emergency spot repairs can be made.

Procurement pursuit intelligence

This project has been enacted. FFID maps funded projects to likely downstream procurement channels — including recipient portals, state and local systems, agency programs, and Grants.gov. SAM.gov is monitored, but many CPF/CDS-funded opportunities appear first through recipient or state/local procurement systems.

FFID could not determine the procurement channel with high confidence for this agency and category combination. Check the agency program page, Grants.gov, the state procurement portal, and the recipient's own procurement page.

Agency not specifically mapped. Check Grants.gov and the recipient's own procurement portal.

Discovery sources to check manually

Discovery only

These portals are not verified matches for this project. SAM.gov and state portals are general search starting points — not confirmed procurement channels.

Not project-specific. Portal coverage varies by state. Check all channels manually.
