SUBJECT: Resolution approving bid and award of contract to American Construction Services, Inc. of Tampa, for the North Woodrow Wilson Street Sidewalk Improvements CDBG
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On June 2020, representatives from Hillsborough County Public Schools, City of Plant City, Plant City Police Department, and the Transportation Planning Organization met to review hazard locations that students, who live within two (2) miles of their assigned school, and would otherwise be ineligible for state funded transportation services, would be subjected to walk to and from home and school. The evaluation identified that N. Woodrow Wilson Street (between W. Lowry Ave. to the CSX railroad tracks) does not contain any existing sidewalks or walking spaces for students to utilize. Specifically, less than four (4) feet of walk space off the edge of road pavement exist between W. Lowry Ave. and W. Moody Ave. This project aims to provide a safe and accessible walking path between W. Lowry Ave. to the CSX railroad.
The scope of the bid includes flexible paving, grading, drainage, concrete sidewalks & driveways, striping, signage, tree removal, sodding, and the replacement of an existing potable watermain and appurtenances.
On March 23, 2026, the Procurement Department published Invitation for Bid (IFB) 26-024EN-IFB, North Woodrow Wilson Street Sidewalk Improvements CDBG. Seven (7) bids were received at the submittal deadline of April 23, 2026. The Engineer's Estimate for the construction was $372,114.77, including a 5% contingency and a 14.5% Contractor Overhead and Profit.
