The document is an attachment (Attachment_8.jpg) related to a Sarasota County, Florida project for a new asphalt trail in the Newtown Estates Park. The project involves installing 1,600 linear feet of an 8-foot-wide trail connecting Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Newtown Boulevard, with trail widening and grading specifications. The contractor will be responsible for expanding an existing 5-foot gravel and shell trail to 8 feet, using existing materials where possible and relocating excess material onsite as directed by the county.

The trail construction requires FDOT-approved Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) with a thickness of 1.5 to 2 inches, compacted using a minimum 3-ton vibratory roller to ensure a smooth, uniform surface. Trail ends will be flared to 16 feet wide, extending 12 feet from sidewalk connections. The contractor must remove and dispose of all construction debris at an approved offsite location, leaving the site clean and free of obstructions. The project specifications explicitly state that the contractor shall not subcontract any part of the work, indicating a direct performance requirement.
