Summary:
Summary
The purpose of the project is to improve traffic and pedestrian safety on 62nd Avenue North, from west of 49th Street North to 34th Street North (U.S. Hwy. 19 N).

Background Information:
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to comply with the Consultants Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), per Florida Statute 287.055, was released September 4, 2024, on behalf of Public Works with submittals due October 17, 2024; the negotiation and scoping process concluded May 29, 2025.
The contract includes fully burdened hourly rates that include all labor, direct/indirect overhead margins/profits, and travel within the Tampa Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area (TBMSA). Travel outside of the TBMCSA will be reimbursed in accordance with Florida Statutes.
The County proposes to improve approximately 1.54 miles of 62nd Avenue North (CR 216) from 780 feet west of 49th Street North to 34th Street North (U.S. Hwy 19 N).
This project is based on the findings from the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) dated February 2024. The final draft of the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was derived from a Conceptual Corridor Report, Traffic & Safety Analysis Report, Health Impact Assessment, and the Traffic Analysis for Proposed Youth Park Multiuse Sports Complex that were completed as part of the PER.
The proposed improvements include a 38-foot wide, three-lane typical section. This includes one 12- foot EB lane, one 12-foot WB lane and one 14-foot two-way left-turn lane. This alternative also proposes 6-foot and 8-foot sidewalks, as well as a 12-foot shared use path on the north side of the corridor and drainage improvements.
The intersection of 62nd Avenue North & 49th Street North will be upgraded with traffic mast arms, pedestrian signals, and dedicated left turn lanes.
