    Bidders are required to carefully review all plans, specifications, special provisions, permits, utility coordination requirements, and site conditions prior to submitting a bid. Submission of a bid shall be considered evidence that the Bidder has examined all Contract Documents and understands the scope and conditions of the Work.

    Detailed requirements are outlined in the attached drawings, specifications, permits, utility coordination documents, and all other Contract Documents.

    Background

    The SUNTrail Project is part of a statewide initiative led by the Florida Department of Transportation to expand and connect a network of multi-use trails throughout Florida. This project represents a key segment within the City of Edgewater’s transportation and recreational infrastructure system.

    The project has been developed under FDOT coordination and includes engineered plans and specifications prepared by Stanley Consultants, Inc., under the responsible charge of licensed Professional Engineers.

    This improvement project is intended to:

    • Enhance pedestrian and bicycle mobility;
    • Improve safety through upgraded crossings and traffic control systems;
    • Provide connectivity to existing transportation corridors and the regional trail network; and
    • Support economic development and recreational use.

    The Contractor will be required to coordinate closely with FDOT, City staff, Volusia County where applicable, utility providers, separate utility relocation work, and adjacent property owners/residents, as the project includes multiple infrastructure components and may involve concurrent utility operations, right-of-way constraints, access impacts, and utility adjustments.
