Citywide Sidewalk Improvement Project

This project is with City of Ocala and includes the construction of 4-foot to 6-foot-wide (32-inch min) sidewalk to fill gaps. The proposed typical sidewalk section is 4-inch thick, 3000 psi concrete and 6-inch thick, 3000 psi fiber reinforced for driveway and curb ramp locations. The approximate length of sidewalk improvements are 2.3 miles. The sidewalk improvement locations are listed here: both sides on NW 7th street from NW Martin Luther King to NW 6th Terrace; north side of NE 21st Street from NE 36th Avenue to NE 38th Terrace; east side of SW 3rd Avenue from SW 2nd Street to SW 3rd Street; north side of SW 3rd Street from SW 2nd Avenue to SW 1st Avenue; along the west side of SW 1st Avenue from SW 2nd Street to SW 3rd Street; along the east side of SW 1st Avenue from SW 3rd Street to SW 5th Street; north side of SW 5th Street from SW 2nd Avenue to SW 1st Avenue; both sides of SE 24th Street from SE 36th Avenue to SE 32nd Avenue; and south side of SW 32nd Avenue from SR 200 to SW 34th Avenue. Other construction activities include mobilization, maintenance of traffic, erosion control, removing and replacing mailboxes, adjust manholes, clearing and grubbing, grading, excavation, backfilling, concrete and asphalt driveway reconstruction, removal of concrete, drainage improvements, pedestrian railing with thickened edge, back of sidewalk curb, type D curb, type F curb and gutter, valley gutter, detectable warning surfaces, sodding, and signing and pavement markings. The city is proposing 7 traffic control sign assembly which are decorative poles on SW 1st Avenue and SW 3rd Street for synchronization purposes and was deemed eligible. This project is to include some city owned utility adjustments limited to adjusting valve boxes, meter boxes to grade and relocating existing fire hydrants. Around 6 locations are proposed to be milled and resurfaces for a depth of 1 inch to add crosswalk and adjust the cross slopes to ensure ADA compliance. Additionally, SW 32nd Avenue is proposed to be reclaimed and includes widening work (base and superpave asphaltic concrete) of approximately 1,130 feet. A 6-foot-wide sidewalk is being proposed on south side and will connect to existing sidewalk at SR 200 and SW 34th Avenue. Signal improvements include replacement of the traffic signal loops and loop-lead-in due to milling and resurfacing work at SW 32nd Avenue. The Bid alternate includes concrete sidewalk, 4-inch and 3000 psi; concrete driveways, 6-inch and 3000 psi fiber reinforced which is considered as an upgrade and federal funds will reimburse for 4-inch thick, 2500 psi sidewalks and 6-in thick, 2500 psi sidewalks at driveway and curb ramp locations only. The maintenance and guarantee bond are deemed ineligible for reimbursement.
