This is a site plan and existing landscape documentation file for the SR 83 (US 331) Landscaping Improvements project in Walton County, Florida, prepared in collaboration with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The project involves comprehensive sod replacement and irrigation installation along the scenic corridor median from SR 30 (US 98) to north of Chat Holley Road, covering approximately 256,500 square feet. The work is divided into two phases, with Phase 1 extending from Coastal Centre Drive to Chat Holley Road and Phase 2 from SR 30 to Coastal Centre Drive. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for October 27, 2025, at 10:00 am, with bid responses due on November 17, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The contract duration is 60 days for substantial completion followed by an additional 30 days for punch list completion, with an estimated total project cost of approximately $670,000.

The project is structured as a lump sum bid with six line items: mobilization, maintenance of traffic, removal of existing sod and site preparation, Zoysia sod installation, irrigation system components and installation, and a 10% owner's contingency. Payment will be made in two progress payments upon substantial completion of each phase. Contractors must provide all necessary licenses, permits, and insurance while complying with federal, state, and local regulations, maintain a full-time on-site superintendent, and provide performance and payment bonds. Technical specifications require Rain Bird pressure compensating emitters, PVC piping, and 100% coverage of planted and sod areas. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,685 per calendar day for project delays. The project emphasizes Florida-friendly landscaping principles and ecological sustainability, focusing on beautifying the Highway 331 gateway corridor.
