The project involves constructing a new 147-foot bridge over the Golden Gate Main Canal, widening approximately 3.3 miles of roadway from Golden Gate Boulevard to Randall Boulevard, and implementing comprehensive transportation infrastructure enhancements. The 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, FL. Project deliverables include two 12-foot travel lanes, a 6-foot sidewalk on the west side of the roadway, new traffic signals, and associated drainage and utility modifications. The contract requires substantial completion within 520 consecutive calendar days, with final completion due 30 calendar days after punch list delivery.

The project is primarily funded through federal highway administration grants under the Local Agency Program (LAP), with a total budget of approximately $26,361,418. Contractors must 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. There is a significant disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) goal of 10.54% and liquidated damages of $7,442 per calendar day for failing to achieve substantial completion. Environmental compliance is critical, requiring mitigation for 2.35 acres of wetland impacts through the Panther Island Mitigation Bank Expansion and coordination with wildlife conservation authorities. Bidders must comply with federal regulations including Davis-Bacon wage requirements, Buy America provisions, equal employment opportunity standards, and protections for endangered species such as the Florida black bear, gopher tortoise, and eastern indigo snake.
