JUPITER — The Jupiter Inlet District is looking for a contractor to dig sand out of the inlet and put it back on the beach south of the inlet next spring.
On Nov. 6, 2026, the district advertised the 2027 Jupiter Inlet Sand Trap Dredging and Beach Nourishment Project, according to a JID bid solicitation also listed on its Meetings & Notices page.
The job calls for dredging about 100,000 cubic yards of sand with a hydraulic cutter suction dredge from the sand trap inside Jupiter Inlet in Palm Beach County, then pumping that material to the beach south of the inlet per the project plans. The selected contractor must finish by April 30, 2027. The solicitation does not name which beach reaches south of the inlet will receive the sand — that is set out in the project plans with the bid package.
Bids open Monday, Dec. 7, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. EST at the JID office, 400 N. Delaware Blvd., Jupiter, FL 33458.
The bid package — project manual and drawings — is posted by the district’s engineer at taylorengineering.com/jupiterinletsandtrap/. Interested bidders submit a short form there to download the documents; JID notes browsers must allow pop-ups. Bid holders are notified by email of any addenda.
JID’s office phone is (561) 746-2223.
