Engineering Design and Permitting Services for the Flagler Avenue (Key West) Road Resiliency and Adaptation Project

Monroe County is undertaking a project to enhance the resilience of Flagler Avenue in Key West by reconstructing the roadway with an asphalt base designed to withstand current and projected sea level rise through 2045, based on NOAA's intermediate high sea level predictions. The improvements also include replacing the existing gravity drainage system, which currently experiences backflow during seasonal king tides, with a new stormwater management system that features a collection network, treatment unit, pump station, and injection wells for disposal. The project involves extensive utility coordination for adjustments and relocations, collaboration with adjacent property owners, and harmonization with private properties. Additional work encompasses the installation of sidewalks, striping, signage, and other necessary infrastructure to ensure a fully functional roadway system capable of addressing climate resilience challenges. The contract, titled "Engineering Design and Permitting Services for the Flagler Avenue (Key West) Road Resiliency and Adaptation Project," is a solicitation issued by Monroe County with a response deadline of July 25, 2024. The project has an estimated value ranging from five to fifteen million dollars and falls under NAICS code 541330, which pertains to engineering services. The scope emphasizes comprehensive design and permitting services aimed at ensuring the roadway's durability and adaptability to sea level rise impacts, with a focus on sustainable stormwater management and infrastructure upgrades to mitigate flooding and backflow issues.
