Collier Bay Seawall Repair & Access Planning
On Collier Bay, connect the structural scope to the vessel route. The city bridge brochure identifies North Kendall Drive as a crossing; the contractor must check the route for the exact property.

Collier Bay appears on the city’s comprehensive-plan map series on the northern side of Marco Island. The bridge reference identifies North Kendall Drive at the bay, but a neighborhood label does not tell you which bridges a particular canal route uses. Trace the route from the intended launch or loading point to the wall. Keep dock projections, vessel turning room and proposed toe protection in the same discussion.

Include the underwater support and usable dock space
Ask whether the assessment can inspect the submerged toe and the wall behind existing dock components. The city manual describes support loss at the toe and notes that rock protection takes water space. A proposal should show what is being repaired and what space the finished work occupies.
If a barge is needed, have the contractor verify the vessel’s loaded dimensions against the actual route. Published bridge readings are not a clearance guarantee.
What could the work cost?
Compare the price for a defined inspection and access plan. A rock allowance, dock alteration or second mobilization can change the total even when the wall length stays the same.

Collier Bay: the practical checklist
Use these checks to turn the location into a defined scope and a clear question for the responsible professional.
Trace the North Kendall question
Use the bridge brochure to identify the relevant crossing, then have the operator verify the actual route, opening and water level.

Measure the waterfront together
The city asks for lot and waterway widths. Include the dock, lift and any proposed rock footprint in the designer’s site information.

Close the work with a survey
Retain the NAVD88 cap elevation and wall position on the completion survey rather than relying on a measurement from the water.
Organize your Collier Bay project
Keep the parcel location, observed changes and available records with your project notes. When you send the form, we pass your request to a local marine contractor.

Collier Bay project questions
Does every Collier Bay job pass under North Kendall?
No. The brochure identifies that crossing; the actual approach depends on the parcel and mobilization point. Have the contractor trace the complete route.
Is riprap always the cheaper repair?
No local price comparison is established here. First determine whether toe protection addresses the diagnosed condition and fits the authorized waterfront space.
Keep planning
