<\/a> <\/p>\nOn Tuesday the Lee County Board of Commissioners approved two contracts, totaling $14 million, to repair damaged sidewalks, the roadway, and pedestrian safety items along Estero Boulevard caused by Hurricane Ian. The work begins next month and is expected to take a year to complete.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The work cannot be done late at night because of the proximity to residential neighborhoods and turtle nesting season.<\/p>\n
The contracts awarded this week were:<\/p>\n
An $8.4 million, low-bid contract to Wright Construction for work including repairing and replacing damaged curb and gutter, sidewalk, pavement, pedestrian handrail, school flashers, flashing beacons, and pervious paver drainage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A $1.4 million contract to Johnson Engineering to perform Construction Engineering and Inspection Services for the project. The services include consulting for contract administration, inspection, and material sampling and testing.<\/p>\n
The project is partially funded by the Federal Highway Administration\u2019s Emergency Relief Program and partially through a state appropriation. The project budget and total grant funding was established as $13.7 million for both construction and construction inspection to account for any cost overruns that may be determined and approved by Florida Department of Transportation during construction.<\/p>\n
