This is a design reference document for Walton County's gateway sign fabrication, permitting, and installation project involving the City of Clearwater and Walton County, Florida. The project requires the fabrication and installation of six county-approved monument-style entrance signs at designated locations, with removal and/or relocation of existing signage at five of the six sites. The scope includes new foundation and site preparation at the SR 20 West location and all associated permitting through the Florida Department of Transportation and Walton County, with mandatory compliance with Scenic Corridor regulations along US 98. The contract duration is one hundred eighty (180) days to substantial completion, with an additional fifteen (15) days allocated for punch list completion. The design reference package provides visual and technical specifications for the proposed gateway signage to guide bidder proposals and installations.

The document serves as a technical reference attachment to support the bidding process and does not contain specific pricing terms, bid due dates, or evaluation criteria within this design reference file itself. Bidders are expected to reference this design package in conjunction with the primary Request for Proposal documents to develop accurate cost estimates and installation timelines. The project involves coordination with multiple governmental agencies and regulatory compliance requirements, indicating a complex permitting and installation process that will require experienced contractors familiar with Florida Department of Transportation regulations and county-level scenic corridor guidelines.
