This file is a Roadway Lighting Design Standards exhibit for the 16th Street NE Bridge Project (LAP), a sealed bid construction project administered by Collier County, Florida. The project encompasses the construction of a new 147-foot bridge over the Golden Gate Main Canal and the widening of approximately 3.3 miles of roadway from Golden Gate Boulevard to Randall Boulevard, including installation of a 6-foot sidewalk on the west side, new traffic signals, and associated drainage and utility modifications. The project requires prospective bidders to be pre-qualified by the Florida Department of Transportation in specific work classes including minor bridges, pavement marking, roadway signing, traffic signals, and sidewalk work. Sealed bids for Bid No. 24-8265 will be received electronically until November 20, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. local time, with a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting scheduled for October 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. in Naples, Florida. Bidders must register on the county's procurement portal to obtain complete project documents, and contractors are expected to achieve substantial completion within 520 consecutive calendar days and final completion within 30 calendar days after punch list delivery.

The total project budget is approximately $26,361,418, funded primarily through federal highway administration grants under the Local Agency Program (LAP). A 5% bid bond is required with all proposals, and the project maintains a significant disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) goal of 10.54%. Contractors must comply with federal regulations including Davis-Bacon wage requirements, Buy America provisions, and equal employment opportunity standards. Liquidated damages are assessed at $7,442 per calendar day for failure to achieve substantial completion. The project requires extensive environmental compliance, including mitigation for 2.35 acres of wetland impacts through credits from the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion, and strict adherence to protections for endangered species including the Florida black bear, gopher tortoise, and eastern indigo snake.
