The document appears to be a draft Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for the Crystal Beach Drainage and Roadway Improvements project in Pinellas County, Florida. The project aims to comprehensively address flooding, water quality, roadway conditions, and utility system upgrades within the Crystal Beach neighborhood. The scope of work includes full design services with engineering design plans and specifications at 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% completion stages, encompassing hydrologic modeling, environmental permitting, public engagement, and construction support. The project is scheduled for 548 consecutive calendar days, with design phases planned from October 2025 to October 2027, and proposals are due by August 5, 2025, with an anticipated contract award on September 1, 2025.

The project is funded through multiple sources, including Penny for Pinellas, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Resilient Florida Grant, and FDEP State Appropriations, with a total budget of $12,069,000 ($1,000,000 for design and $11,069,000 for construction). The contract will be structured as a lump sum agreement with a three-year term and extension options. The project offers specific opportunities for local and small businesses, with additional points awarded to firms located in Pinellas, Manatee, Hillsborough, or Pasco counties, and those participating in the Small Business Enterprise program. The project area covers approximately 10.23 acres, focusing on preserving the community's coastal "Old Florida" character while implementing resilient infrastructure solutions on streets including Mangrove Lane, Tennessee Avenue, Kentucky Avenue, Indiana Avenue, Maryland Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, Crystal Beach Avenue, and Gulf Drive.
