📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The proposed project involves final design and construction activities to complete various improvements at approximately 110 highway-rail grade crossings (e.g., pavement markings, signage, surface replacement, and installing traffic signal equipment (pre-emption, pre-signals, and queue-cutter related, etc.), as well as complete trespassing prevention improvements at select locations. The project aligns with the selection criteria by enhancing safety as it will help increase the safety of pedestrians, motorists, two freight rail carriers (CSX Transportation and Florida Central Railroad), Amtrak, and Sun Rail commuter service at certain at-grade crossings along the Central Florida Rail Corridor. The project will also mitigate pedestrian trespassing to channel trespassers to the grade crossing or pedestrian crossings. The Florida Department of Transportation will provide a 50 percent non-Federal match. This project qualifies for the statutory set-aside for projects to prevent trespassing.
