BACKGROUND:
The proposed project addresses the construction of safety and operational improvements at the intersection of State Road (SR) 464 and SE 25th Avenue, as approved in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The project scope includes minor widening and reconstruction of the south leg of the intersection to provide the northbound approach of SE 25th Avenue at SR 464 with a left-turn lane, a shared left-turn/through lane, and a dedicated right-turn lane. In addition, the project will add an exclusive westbound right-turn lane on SR 464 and a marked bike lane at SE 25th Avenue, along with signal retiming for the intersection.
State-Funded Grant Agreement (SFGA) FPN#456984-1-54-01 between the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the City of Ocala was fully executed on August 18, 2026. Per the grant agreement, the total estimated cost of the SFGA project is $773,230; FDOT agrees to reimburse the City up to $579,922, and the City’s estimated share is $193,308. The City also agrees to bear all expenses in excess of the FDOT's participation.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The Engineering Department contacted DRMP, Inc. to request a proposal for construction engineering and inspection services for the SR 464 at SE 25th Avenue Improvement project. These services will be provided under the Agreement for Continuing Professional Engineering Services - Citywide (Contract No.: ENG/220323) approved by City Council on September 20, 2022, and amended on August 19, 2025, and September 1, 2026.
