CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

DRMP served as the General Engineering Construction Management Consultant for four projects located within the 29.5-mile, I-4 Corridor throughout Polk County.  Our CEI personnel assisted FDOT District One with project management from the development of request for proposals phase through the construction phase for three design build projects as well as one conventional low bid project.  Working from an established on-site construction office, DRMP’s CEI staff provided all resources necessary for contract administration activities including: scheduling, estimating, negotiating additional work, claims analysis and settlement, interpreting design build scope, Equal Employment Opportunity compliance, public information, and operation of a portable intelligent transportation system (PITS) used to provide motorists with advanced warning and information of ongoing construction activities.

The overall construction is divided into three separate construction contracts including sections: design build from Avalon Road to SR 429; conventional design/bid/build from West of Hancock Road to West of Remington Road which includes relocating the intersection of Oakland Avenue and SR 50 244-feet to the east; and a conventional design/bid/build from Good Homes Road to Pine Hills Road.  This segment also included an additional widening project of Good Homes Road from two-lanes to four-lanes from SR 408 to 1000-feet north of SR 50 and three JPA contracts, two with Orange County and one with OUC, to replace water and sewer mains. All work is being performed for FDOT District Five. The section from Avalon Road to SR 429 is an ARRA Economic Stimulus project funded by the Federal Highway Administration.
