Body
BACKGROUND:
The North Collier Blvd. and North Barfield Drive intersection is considered the most deficient intersection on Marco Island. During peak hours, southbound traffic frequently backs up from this location to the north side of Jolley Bridge, and northbound traffic experiences similar congestion extending to East Elkcam Circle. This intersection presents a significant traffic management concern for residents, school transportation, delivery drivers, and workers commuting onto the island. Most importantly, it is a key route for emergency evacuations. The existing configuration lacks adequate turn lane queue lengths and dedicated lanes to manage traffic flow efficiently. To address these issues, the City developed plans for intersection improvements, which were advertised for competitive bidding as part of a capital improvement project.
The project also includes the replacement of underground water and reclaimed water mains with valves, tie-ins, service connections, deflections, and all associated restoration. The project (ITB-2025-013) was publicly advertised on February 9, 2025, and two (2) bids were received by the closing date of March 25, 2025.
