63RD STREET BF-/IDGE REHABILITATION / FLYOVER DEMOLITION /
CONSTRUCTION OF AT-GRADE INTERSECTION I IMPROVEMENTS TO
INDIAN CREEK
This is to let you know that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has awarded
subject project to Gilbert Southern in the amount of $14,679,758.00. According to FDOT,
Gilbert Southern is an excellent contractor who has completed several projects for local
FDOT districts including the complete replacement of the 2"" Avenue Bascule Bridge.
The awarded contract has a mandatory start of April 17, 2006. The good news, the
contractor will receive a $400,000 bonus to complete the total project in 380 calendar days
and an additional $60,000 incentive to finish in 370 calendar days, compared to the 580
calendar days originally estimated by FDOT. More good news, there is another $400,000
bonus to complete all the right-of-way improvements on Indian Creek from south of 63r"
Street to Abbott Avenue in 230 calendar days.
Per FDOT it would be best to have the initial project Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC)
meeting once FDOT has received a preliminary construction schedule from Gilbert
Southern and has selected a consultant who will assist FDOT in the administration of the
project. FDOT estimates it will have the preliminary construction schedule and the
consultant by August 2005. Until such time, I recommend you select two representatives
each to be appointed to the FDOT subject project CAC.
Please feel.free to contact me should you have any other concerns or questions.
