This is a structural calculations document prepared for the City of Fort Myers in support of the John Yarbrough Linear Park (JYLP) Trail Construction project from Colonial Boulevard to Hanson Street. The document provides engineering calculations and structural design specifications for the bridge and trail infrastructure components of Phase IV Extension of the Shared Use Path. The project encompasses approximately 1.83 miles of trail construction and includes two major bridge structures: a 912-foot multi-span prestressed concrete bridge over SR 886/Colonial Boulevard and a 139-foot prefabricated steel bridge structure over the 10-Mile Canal. These structural calculations serve as the technical foundation for the construction bid and are dated September 1, 2026, for the FY2026-27 fiscal year, establishing the engineering parameters and design standards that contractors must follow during construction.

The structural calculations document supports the City of Fort Myers' rebid procurement for construction services under the Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network program, with funding provided through the Department's FY-24/25 work program. This technical submittal demonstrates the project's engineering feasibility and provides the detailed specifications necessary for qualified contractors to accurately estimate costs and construction methodologies. The document establishes the structural design requirements and load calculations that contractors must incorporate into their construction plans and cost proposals, ensuring compliance with applicable engineering standards and safety requirements for both the concrete bridge over the state roadway and the steel bridge crossing the canal.
