Background Information:
The County will be replacing the bridge on Old Coachman Road (CR 535) over Alligator Creek in Clearwater along with associated roadway and drainage improvements. County staff anticipates construction will begin in fiscal year 2021. This JPA will result in savings to the County by reducing cost of mobilization, maintenance of traffic, site restoration, as well as having only one (1) contractor on site to coordinate timing of all work. Utilizing the same contractor results in a cost saving and project administration efficiency for all stakeholders.
