Construction of Floresta Drive Improvements Phase II

The intent of the City is to procure the services of one (1) qualified Contractor related to the construction of the Construction of Floresta Drive Improvements Phase II Project. The contract period is estimated at seven hundred thirty (730) calendar days. This project is funded through proceeds from the voter-approved 1/2 Cent Sales Tax for Infrastructure Improvement Projects. This is a very high-profile project, and the second major project to be completed with sales tax proceeds (Floresta Phase I being the first). As such, the Contractor shall take all means necessary to ensure a successful, timely project. The improvements include both a two-lane section with landscaped median and a two-lane section with a bi-directional turn lane. Both sections include sidewalks, bike lanes, curb and gutter, landscape, irrigation, water and sewer adjustments and pedestrian lighting. This phase also includes a bridge replacement and removal of an existing pedestrian bridge. Construction sequencing shall be timed such that pedestrian access across the Elkcam Waterway is maintained at all times. This project includes seven (7) sets of construction plans. It is the Contractor's responsibility to familiarize themselves with the terms and conditions set forth in this document. Some of the requirements typical of a City of Port St. Lucie contract have been modified, including but not limited to, liquidated damages, lane closures and weather days. Additionally, it is expected that the Contractor will make continual progress on critical items of work from contract day 1. The Contractor will need to coordinate remaining utility pole removals and all other public utility relocations for the duration of the project. No additional cost or time will be added to work around utility poles until they are removed, unless the Contractor shows that they have made sufficient coordination efforts and that no mitigation or resequencing is possible to allow critical path work to proceed. Coordination of all utilities in conflict with construction are the Contractor's responsibility to assure that the schedule is maintained. The Contractor must hold a preconstruction meeting with utility companies, CEI and the City, and must hold progress meetings every two (2) weeks until all utility conflicts have been resolved. The Contractor must have all the required licenses and certifications necessary to perform this work. The approved License for this work includes a State of Florida General Contractor License. It is the Contractor's responsibility to verify with the City's Building Department that they possess the proper licenses and certifications to perform the work prior to submitting a bid.
