The project involves the installation of 100 linear feet of 72" steel casing/carrier pipe, 117 linear feet of 54" RCP pipe, two Type D drainage structures exceeding 12 feet in depth, and grading/excavation work to daylight the 54" pipe into an existing borrow pit. The construction activities must comply with CSX Railroad and Northwest Florida Water Management District permits. The bid was released on November 4, 2025, with a pre-bid meeting scheduled for November 12, 2025, at 1:00 pm. Bid responses are due by December 4, 2025, at 10:00 am. The contract specifies a substantial completion timeline of 365 consecutive calendar days from the Notice to Proceed and a final completion timeline of 395 days.

The contract is structured as a unit price contract with 18 line items covering mobilization, clearing and grubbing, earthwork, pipe installation, and erosion control. There are no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, meaning the procurement is open to all qualified contractors. Bidders must meet specific licensing requirements and comply with Florida statutes, and they must submit bid bonds, performance and payment bonds, and insurance certificates. Insurance requirements mandate $1,000,000 per occurrence for general liability and business auto liability, with workers' compensation coverage also required. Liquidated damages are established at $1,685 per calendar day of delay beyond the specified completion time. While no explicit budget is stated in the procurement documents, the comprehensive technical specifications and multi-agency coordination requirements indicate a significant infrastructure investment.
