Summary:
The purpose of this project was to add capacity to the Corridor with the widening/reconstruction of Forest Lakes Boulevard, from west of Pine Avenue to Racetrack Road, improving a two-lane divided suburban roadway to a divided four-lane suburban typical section. Construction activities included roadside drainage, new drainage pipes, underdrain, signing and pavement markings, signals, intelligent transportation systems, lighting, paved bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and pedestrian features. All work was completed within the existing right-of-way including mast arms and pedestrian signals at Pine Avenue and Brooker Creek Boulevard.
The project also included a Joint Project Agreement with the City of Oldsmar for water, sewer, reclaimed water, and fiber optic communication line relocations.
Background/Explanation:
The project was awarded by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on October 9, 2018 in the amount of $12,025,336.10. Change Order No. 1 was issued by the Board on May 5, 2020 which increased the contract amount by $4,105,371.00 and extended the contract duration by 70 consecutive calendar days. Substantial completion was completed on May 24, 2021 with final completion achieved on November 18, 2021. Liquidated damages do not apply as the additional days added to the project duration were to complete final inspections and testing, address punch list items, receipt of certified as-builts, final approval from permitting agencies, and engineer of record review and approval. Final inspection for all work performed under the contract was conducted by representatives of the Public Works Construction Management Division.
Pinellas County Public Works Transportation Division, in conjunction with Forward Pinellas, identified the need for capacity improvements within the Forest Lakes Boulevard (CR 667) corridor from west of Pine Avenue to Racetrack Road, including widening/reconstruction of the existing two lane to a four-lane roadway. The new section is consistent with the adjacent section, which is located to the west and extends from Pine Avenue to Tampa Road. This corridor is considered a bi-County regional facility and is an emergency evacuation route.
