On December 27, 2018, the City issued an Invitation to Bid for the Block 63 alley and one of the alleys associated with the NW 5th Avenue Alley project (Block 17 Alley), as the CRA is working on resolving title issues with the two other “alleys” in Blocks 25 & 26. The City received five (5) responses on February 1, 2019, and the City’s Purchasing Department is currently preparing an agreement with the lowest most responsive and responsible bidder, which will be presented to the City Commission for approval.
The Scope of Work for the Construction Contractor is to construct the two (2) alleys in accordance with Construction Documents and the City of Delray Beach Standards and Specifications. The total construction time is 120 total days.
