A1A, US 1 to Donald Ross Rd

Palm Beach County, Florida is requesting sealed bids for roadway and drainage improvements on A1A from US 1 to Donald Ross Road (Project 2019805) under unit price bidding, with bids due August 18, 2026 and a non-mandatory pre-bid meeting on July 30, 2026. A mandatory 17% Small Business Enterprise subcontracting participation goal applies, with waiver requests permitted based on demonstrated good faith efforts.

The scope encompasses 2,310 linear feet of improvements including mobilization, maintenance of traffic, clearing and grubbing, 21 drainage structures (four- and five-foot diameter manholes and inlets), concrete pipe culverts ranging from 8 to 36 inches in diameter, baserock and asphalt concrete placement, concrete and brick sidewalk work, sod installation (1,718 square yards), native plant installation in North and South Littoral sections, and contingency items for potential storm sewer bypass pumping, sewer cleaning, sanitary sewer lateral replacement, and traffic control services. All mobilization and traffic maintenance costs must be incorporated into individual unit prices rather than bid separately. Construction spans Station 17+40.00 to Station 40+49.65 and requires compliance with FDOT Standard Plans, NPDES permit requirements, Florida water quality standards, trench safety, dewatering (Permit #50-12556-W), and utility coordination with AT&T, Crown Castle, Comcast, FP&L, and FPUC.

Bidders must submit a Qualifications and Experience Package documenting two similar projects completed within five years (at least one under the bidder's own firm name), resumes for superintendent-level or above staff, a schedule of owned equipment or equipment rental letters, and OSBD Schedules 1 and 2 listing all subcontractors and SBE participation. A bid bond is required unless the bidder participates in Palm Beach County's Bond Waiver Program. The contract includes special provisions for apprentice incentives (up to $100,000 reimbursement for 20% of apprentice wages) and Glades resident employee incentives (up to $100,000 reimbursement for 30% of wages). Prevailing wage, E-Verify compliance, Local Government Prompt Payment Act (10-day subcontractor payment mandate), and Commercial Non-Discrimination requirements apply. Contract documents are available through the Palm Beach County Vendor Self Service portal or in hard copy for a $50 non-refundable fee. Requests for Information must be submitted at least five working days prior to bid opening to ENG-RoadwayBids@PBC.GOV.
