How to bid on Narcoossee Road Turn-Lane Improvements for Osceola County

What Osceola County is buying

Osceola County is looking for a contractor to perform construction services for the Narcoossee Elementary and Middle School Operational Improvements Project. This project aims to improve vehicular access to both schools.

The work includes extending and reconstructing turn lanes on Narcoossee Road, pavement widening, installing new concrete sidewalks, and making drainage modifications. It also covers installing new signs and pavement markings, stormwater pollution prevention, erosion control, and site restoration. All pedestrian facilities must meet current ADA standards. The contractor will be responsible for mobilization, maintenance of traffic, clearing and grubbing, and erosion control.

A key requirement is that the contractor must coordinate all construction activities and traffic control phases directly with the Osceola County Schools representative to align with school operating hours, drop-off times, and pick-up schedules.
