The file is an attachment (Attachment_8.jpg) related to a Sarasota County, Florida contract opportunity for a new asphalt trail project in the Newtown Estates Park area. 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 widening an existing 5-foot gravel and shell trail, installing a crushed concrete sub-base, and applying FDOT-approved Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) with a thickness of 1.5 to 2 inches. Trail ends will be flared to 16 feet wide, extending 12 feet from sidewalk connections at each end.

The project requires the contractor to complete all work without subcontracting, and includes comprehensive site cleanup and disposal of construction debris. The contractor must remove and properly dispose of all excess materials at an approved offsite location, ensuring the site is left clean, graded, and free of obstructions upon project completion. The specifications call for using a minimum 3-ton vibratory roller to achieve a smooth, uniform surface, and reusing existing material for grading and contouring where feasible. No specific budget or funding details are provided in the attachment.
