BACKGROUND:
Paved roads need to be resurfaced to maintain their condition, prevent future issues, and improve safety. Resurfacing also helps protect the pavement from environmental factors like weathering, rain damage, and UV degradation. Many roads in Marco Island have cracked because of storm surge, wear, and traffic. Also, the asphalt of many roads on the island has settled around sanitary manholes resulting in roadway bumps at the manholes. Each year the city budgets funds to resurface the roads that are in the poorest condition.
The City publicly bid the annual pavement resurfacing for 2024. The resurfacing project (ITB #2024-019) was advertised on March 31, 2024. The project was broadcast to 1,547 vendors; 13 downloaded the bid package; and the City received a total of two (2) bids on May 9, 2024. The bids include a $50,000 owner's contingency for unforeseen expenses.
