The project involves constructing a 10' to 14' wide asphalt pavement/concrete trail with a 1,000-foot boardwalk section, including 4,899 feet of concrete sidewalk, 11,963 feet of asphalt trail with ribbon curb, pedestrian signal installations, and landscape improvements. Bidders must be prequalified with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in specific work classifications such as Flexible Paving and Sidewalk, and provide at least three references demonstrating experience with urban roadway or bike trail construction. The procurement requires electronic submissions through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform by April 23, 2024, at 4:00 pm EST, with a project deadline for questions on February 29, 2024. The estimated project cost is $7,449,065.96, with a contract duration of 450 days from the official Notice to Proceed.

Bidders must submit a bid bond or alternative surety of 10% of their total bid and demonstrate compliance with ethical standards and regulatory guidelines. The project will require environmental permit coordination, including a St. Johns River Water Management District General Permit Exemption and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.

Liquidated damages are established with daily rates ranging from $980 to $10,467, depending on contract completion timelines.
