NASA Blvd Sidewalk Improvements

The contract involves the construction of a 6-foot-wide sidewalk along NASA Boulevard, stretching approximately 5,214 feet from Harry Sutton Road to just east of Gateway Drive. The project includes installing Type F curb and gutter, curb ramps, detectable warning devices, and bus stop boarding and alighting pads in accordance with ADA standards to ensure accessibility. Drainage enhancements are a significant component, featuring side drain installations, pipe culvert extensions with end walls, storm drain pipe installations, manholes, ditch regrading, inlet installations, rubble riprap, and ditch pavement to manage stormwater effectively. Additional work encompasses traffic maintenance, erosion control, clearing and grubbing of existing concrete, excavation, milling, resurfacing, and adjustments to existing infrastructure such as valve boxes, guardrails, pipe rails, guiderails, and signage. Pedestrian poles at the signalized intersection of Grumman Place and NASA Boulevard will also be installed. All improvements are to be constructed within existing rights-of-way or through authorized Right of Entry Agreements, ensuring compliance with current ADA standards and local regulations. The project is valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000, with a solicitation posted by the City of Melbourne, Florida, under solicitation number ITB-14620-0-2024/KB, with responses due by July 9, 2024.
