PROJECT: N/A
PURPOSE:
The Public Works Department has solicited construction services for the Buck Road Bridge project. The project consists of the Buck Road bridge replacement over the Little Econ River including the roadway approaches from west of Riverdale Road to Rouse Road and roadway improvements to Riverdale Road. The project includes existing bridge removal, new bridge construction, sheet pile walls, pedestrian railing, earthwork, milling and resurfacing, curb and gutter, concrete sidewalk, drainage pipes and structures, erosion control, sodding, pavement markings, signs, traffic signalization, maintenance of traffic, and utility coordination. The project length is approximately 1,126 feet.
This project is funded in accordance with the Local Agency Program Agreement that was approved by the Board on February 21, 2023 and Supplemental Agreement Number 1 approved by the Board on June 18, 2024. The Florida Department of Transportation and MetroPlan Orlando have agreed to increase the federal fund amount to $9,985,388 (formally $7,266,104) and reduce the County’s share to $403,826 (formally $3,123,110). The Public Works Department will seek to reduce or eliminate future funding gaps by requesting additional funding through MetroPlan Orlando.
The County Attorney’s Office, Risk Management Division, Public Works Engineering Division, Highway Construction Division, and Transportation Planning Division have reviewed this Resolution and Supplemental Agreement and find them acceptable.
