Western Way Interim Improvements

The Western Way Interim Improvements project, solicited under C007089 by the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, involves comprehensive roadway enhancements at Buena Vista Drive and Western Way, with additional work along the northbound approach of Hartzog Road in Florida. The scope includes milling existing asphalt to a depth of 1.5 inches and placing new 1.5-inch FC-12.5 asphalt, hydro blasting of bridge decks, removal of concrete traffic separators, installation and relocation of regulatory and themed wayfinding signs, relocation and installation of signal heads, new median turn lane signal pedestals with associated conduit and pull boxes, traffic control cabinet tie-ins, erosion control, and full site restoration. Final pavement marking and striping will be performed on Buena Vista Drive and Western Way, with localized striping changes on Hartzog Road. All construction activities must be carefully phased to maintain traffic circulation and ensure public safety through temporary lane closures and robust maintenance of traffic operations. The project is classified under NAICS code 55121710 and is open to vendors registered on the PlanetBids platform, which is the only authorized method for bid submission and question submission. A mandatory pre-bid meeting via Microsoft Teams on May 26, 2026, requires RSVP through PlanetBids. Bid preferences are applied in favor of local vendors, veteran small businesses, and opportunity zone businesses. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the deadline of June 18, 2026, and while bid documents are viewable without registration, full participation—including bidding—requires vendor registration on the platform. No contract value, period of performance, or formal inspection criteria are disclosed in the available documentation.
