Johnson Street Bridge Replacement and Public Utilities Relocation

The Johnson Street Bridge Replacement is a locally funded City priority project, advancing in close coordination with Florida Department of Transportation design review standards and permitting requirements. While FDOT is not the primary construction funding source, the project has been developed to align with FDOT criteria to preserve eligibility for future state participation and to ensure compliance with recognized best practices for bridge delivery, CEI oversight, and maintenance of traffic. The project has also achieved key regulatory milestones, including issuance of permits by Broward County (Environmental Resource License) and Conceptual Approval from the South Florida Water Management District. From a delivery perspective, this project presents real-world complexity that rewards capable contractors. Challenges include maintaining traffic and pedestrian access in a constrained urban corridor, constructing over an active canal with environmental controls, and relocating critical water and wastewater utilities while maintaining uninterrupted service. The City has intentionally structured the project to allow a single contractor to perform both bridge replacement and public utility relocation, creating an opportunity for firms that excel at integrated means-and-methods planning, sequencing, and coordination across disciplines. The City is seeking a contractor that brings strong constructability thinking, disciplined MOT execution, and proactive utility coordination, particularly during tie-ins and phased service transitions. Vendors that demonstrate early risk identification, thoughtful staging plans, and a collaborative approach with City staff, CEI, and utility inspectors will be well positioned for success.
