Completed_Use_and_Occupancy_Agreement.pdf

This is a Use and Occupancy Agreement document related to the City of Fort Myers' John Yarbrough Linear Park (JYLP) Trail Construction project, a Phase IV Extension Shared Use Path and Bridge Improvements initiative spanning approximately 1.83 miles from south of SR 884/Colonial Boulevard to Hanson Street. The project encompasses construction of a 912-foot multi-span prestressed concrete bridge over SR 886/Colonial Boulevard and a 139-foot prefabricated steel bridge structure over the 10-mile canal. The agreement establishes the terms and conditions governing the use and occupancy of project areas by the contractor and associated parties during the construction phase. This rebid opportunity (Sun Trail 447515-1-54-01) is funded through the Florida Shared-Use Nonmotorized Trail Network under the Department's FY-24/25 work program and represents critical infrastructure development for the region's trail network connectivity.

The Use and Occupancy Agreement serves as a binding instrument that delineates the rights, responsibilities, and operational parameters for all parties involved in the project execution. The document addresses site access, temporary occupation provisions, maintenance obligations, insurance requirements, and compliance standards necessary for the safe and efficient construction of the linear park trail and associated bridge structures. This agreement is fundamental to project administration and ensures coordination between the City of Fort Myers, the selected contractor, and any third parties with interests in the project corridor, including property owners and utility providers affected by the construction activities.
