Third Street NW Complete Street Project - LAP

The City of Winter Haven is soliciting qualified firms to construct the Third Street NW Complete Street Project through a Local Agency Program (LAP) procurement. The project encompasses comprehensive roadway improvements along 3rd Street NW from Avenue D to South Lake Silver Drive, with specific engineering and infrastructure enhancement objectives. Key project deliverables include geometric roadway modifications, installation of a variable-width median, reconfiguration of on-street parking, construction of drainage swales, and installation of 8-foot sidewalks on both roadway sides. The scope of work also involves constructing two distinct roundabouts: a conventional roundabout at Avenue E NW and a peanut-shaped roundabout at Avenue F NW intersection. Additional project elements include sidewalk upgrades, pedestrian crossing improvements, lighting installations, signage updates, pavement markings, and on-street parking refinements. The procurement was posted on January 16, 2026, with proposals due by February 17, 2026, providing potential bidders approximately one month to prepare and submit comprehensive project proposals.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements were explicitly mentioned in the contract opportunity description, the project is located in Polk County, Florida, which may have standard local procurement guidelines. The procurement appears open to engineering and construction firms with demonstrated capabilities in municipal infrastructure projects, particularly those with experience in complete street redesign and roundabout construction. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the provided documentation. The project's complexity and comprehensive nature suggest a significant capital investment, though precise budget ranges were not specified. Interested firms will likely need to demonstrate technical expertise in civil engineering, roadway design, municipal infrastructure construction, traffic management, and comprehensive urban street reconstruction to be competitive in this procurement process.
