Ash Street Widening/Resurfacing

Taylor County Board of County Commissioners is requesting sealed proposals for the Ash Street Widening/Resurfacing LAP/SCOP Project, a roadway construction project in Perry, Florida, with proposals due August 14, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. and bids to be opened August 18 at 6:10 p.m.

The scope includes widening an existing 19–20 foot roadway to 24 feet along Ash Street over approximately 1.3 miles, installing limerock widening strips, reclaiming and resurfacing existing asphalt, constructing new concrete sidewalks and reworking existing ones, reshaping ditches, extending or removing stormwater culverts, turf installation, signage, and pavement markings. Contractors must hold current Florida Department of Transportation prequalification and valid business/contractor licensing. Five copies of each proposal are required.

The base bid timeline is 365 calendar days for substantial completion. The project is funded through FDOT LAP and SCOP sources. The contract will be awarded to the bidder deemed to offer the best overall service, not necessarily the lowest price.

Bid security of 5% of the maximum bid price is required in the form of certified check, bank money order, or bid bond. All proposals must include proof of E-Verify enrollment, current certificates of liability and workers' compensation insurance (or exemption certificates), and federal certifications regarding debarment, lobbying, and non-collusion. The successful bidder must execute the contract within 15 days of award and provide performance and payment bonds. Bid security for unsuccessful bidders not deemed to have a reasonable chance of award will be returned within seven days of bid opening.

Written questions are due July 31, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. to county.engineer@taylorcountygov.com, with responses provided by August 7. No pre-bid conference will be held, and no faxed proposals will be accepted. The owner is exempt from Florida sales and use taxes on direct-purchased materials and equipment incorporated into the work.
