This is a roadway plans document for the 16th Street NE Bridge Project (Bid No. 24-8265) 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 extending from Golden Gate Boulevard to Randall Boulevard. Key infrastructure improvements include constructing two 12-foot travel lanes, installing a 6-foot sidewalk on the west side of the roadway, implementing new traffic signals, and completing associated drainage and utility modifications. Sealed bids must be submitted electronically by November 20, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. local time. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 21, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at Collier County Procurement Services in Naples, Florida. Prospective bidders 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. Contractors are expected to achieve substantial completion within 520 consecutive calendar days, with final completion required within 30 calendar days after punch list delivery.

The project budget totals approximately $26,361,418 and is primarily funded through federal highway administration grants under the Local Agency Program (LAP). A 5% bid bond must accompany all proposals. The project includes a 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 coordination with wildlife conservation authorities for endangered species protections including the Florida black bear, gopher tortoise, and eastern indigo snake.
