About this file
This document is the October 2017 Hillsborough County Public Works Standard Specifications for Construction, which establishes the technical and administrative requirements for construction projects undertaken by or on behalf of Hillsborough County, Florida. The specifications provide comprehensive guidance covering project management, quality control, materials, equipment, traffic management, environmental controls, and construction methodologies. The document addresses work across multiple infrastructure categories including roadways, bridges, utilities, drainage systems, and traffic control devices. Key administrative requirements include the appointment of a Project Manager and Project Representative to oversee contract execution, mandatory preconstruction conferences, weekly progress meetings, and submittal requirements for schedules, shop drawings, quality control plans, erosion control plans, and record drawings. The contractor is responsible for mobilization within ten days of Notice to Proceed, including establishment of field offices, temporary utilities, and site security. Contractors must maintain traffic flow, protect existing utilities and facilities, control dust and erosion, and comply with all environmental regulations throughout the construction period.
The specifications establish that all work must conform to the most current FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction and applicable OSHA regulations, with the County retaining quality assurance and verification testing authority independent of contractor quality control efforts. Payment is made on a unit price or lump sum basis as specified in individual bid items, with mobilization costs spread across contract items unless separately itemized. The contractor bears all costs for materials, labor, equipment, temporary facilities, traffic control, utility protection, environmental compliance, and site restoration. Record drawings must be submitted in both hard copy and digital format, signed and sealed by a licensed professional surveyor or engineer, prior to final payment approval. The specifications require contractors to provide comprehensive documentation including daily force reports, progress reports, quality control test results, and updated schedules on a monthly basis. Demobilization and final site cleanup must be completed within ten working days of the Notice of Completion, with the County's field office remaining operational for an additional thirty days at contractor expense.
