Red Reef Park’s splintery boardwalk is getting a 21st-century makeover. “They’ve been out there 30 years, and it’s time,’’ said Bob Langford, executive director of the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District. Low bidder for the Red Reef project was Hollywood-based Enco LLC, at $928,859. The firm will rebuild the coastal dune boardwalk, pavilions and four dune crossovers.
Enco also will reconstruct a pavilion at James A. Rutherford Park on the west side of the Intracoastal for $59,361.
Construction on the beach must be completed before March 1, when sea turtles begin nesting.
Boca Raton operates and maintains Red Reef Park; the Beach and Park District reimburses the city.
Langford said Red Reef’s boardwalk and parking lots were the first improvements made in the beach park.
