This is a Project Specifications Index document prepared by the City of Plant City Engineering Department in Hillsborough County, Florida, for the Collins Street Complete Street Improvements—Phase I project (IFB 25-014EN-FC-IFB). The project encompasses a comprehensive street renovation of approximately 1/4 mile of S. Collins Street from E. Laura Street to south of E. Alabama Street, including paving, grading, drainage, concrete curb and sidewalk installation, striping, signage, signalization improvements, landscape enhancements, hardscape installations, irrigation systems, and lighting improvements. The project also requires replacement of an existing potable water main and appurtenances. The contractor must coordinate the relocation and undergrounding of private utilities concurrent with the project schedule. The bid was released on August 18, 2025, with questions due by September 8, 2025, and proposals due by October 9, 2025. Substantial completion is required within 365 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed.

The specifications are compiled from multiple sources and authors, including Kimley-Horn and Associates (Scope of Work and General Specifications), Dewberry (Watermain Replacement), and the City of Plant City (General Requirements and Traffic Cabinet Special Requirements). The project incorporates by reference the Hillsborough County Public Works Standard Specifications for Construction (2023) and the Florida Department of Transportation FY 2024-25 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. Contractors must hold a State of Florida General Contractor's License and FDOT Prequalification. The project involves coordination with existing utility infrastructure from Tampa Electric Company, Charter Communications, Frontier Communications, and City of Plant City water systems. No specific budget amount is disclosed in this specifications index; however, the project structure with multiple line-item bid categories across various disciplines suggests a substantial municipal infrastructure investment.
