PROJECT: 7th Street Streetscape Project 2509-PL

The Dade City Public Works Department will receive sealed bids, for the 7th Street Streetscape Project consisting of:

The City of Dade City is seeking quotes for the creation of construction documents, specifications and opinion of probable costs for the limits of the 7th Street Streetscape project from Church Avenue to Pond Avenue.

The City of Dade City has received a grant in the amount of $300,000 from the State of Florida to be used to for: landscape and pedestrian improvements along 7th Street from Pond Avenue on the north to Church Avenue on the south.

Beginning at Church Avenue, 7th Street will become one lane in each direction with new diagonal parking located on the northbound side of the street and parallel parking located on the southbound direction. The conversion of the existing parallel parking to diagonal parking in the northbound direction will add 48 new parking spaces. As currently proposed the center turn lanes will be eliminated. To accommodate the removal of the turn lanes, the timing of the signals will be modified to allow all traffic moving in one direction to go, then the opposite direction will be given a green light to proceed. This will help to ensure that traffic can flow without having to wait for cars to make left hand turns across incoming traffic.
With the conversion to diagonal parking, new landscape planter areas will be created at the ends of each parking area. In addition, new landscape areas will also be added to the intersections to narrow the crosswalk areas for pedestrians, creating much shorter crossing distances across 7th Street.
To further increase the number of trees in the downtown area, new mid-parking tree wells with at grade tree grates will be added every 2-3 parking spaces. The placement of these trees will help to bring the canopy of the trees closer to the center of the roadway creating greater shade potential. This placement also allows for healthier tree growth as they are not impeded by the adjacent buildings. Additional Florida friendly landscaping that is low maintenance will be planted throughout the project.
All crosswalks within the project area will be constructed of a stamped, colored asphalt to mimic the historic brick of downtown. This material will have less maintenance than traditional brick. The colored stamped asphalt will be more cost effective than stamped concrete. All of the existing crosswalks will remain, and new pedestrian crosswalks will be added at Pineapple Sumner and Pond Avenues.

Bids will be received at 38020 Meridian Ave, Dade City, FL 33525 until 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 11, 2025 and then publicly opened and read aloud at the City Commission Chambers at the same address. All bids must be clearly marked in the lower left corner with bidder information, the project name and number, and date and time of bid opening.
