Site work for a road / highway in Fernandina Beach, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway.

As of September 24, 2025, this project has been cancelled. The City of Fernandina Beach's downtown district holds multiple festivals and events in the downtown area drawing large crowds which require road closures for the safety of the public. Historically, the City has erected temporary barricades and other devices to block vehicular traffic from entering the festival zones full of pedestrians. While these temporary barriers perform reasonably well, significant monitoring to maintain proper placement is required. The City is interested in pursuing more efficient barricades consisting of the placement of retractable vertical bollards that recess into the pavement surface at numerous locations where potential entry to the festival areas are routinely breached. The scope of work for this is for the Vendor to provide and install (60) sixty bollards in the existing pavement at locations shown on the Attachment included.
