Johnson Street Bridge Replacement and Public Utilities Relocation

The Johnson Street Bridge Replacement and Public Utilities Relocation is a construction project issued by the City of Hollywood, Florida, through its Development Services - Engineering Division. The project will replace the existing aging bridge over the C-10 Canal with a modern structure that improves safety, reliability, and long-term resiliency for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. A critical component is the relocation and protection of City-owned water and wastewater utilities that currently conflict with the proposed bridge footprint. The City intends to deliver both the bridge replacement and utility relocations under a single construction contract, allowing the selected contractor to manage means and methods, minimize service interruptions, and reduce schedule and interface risk between structural and utility work.

The project is located in a constrained urban corridor in Hollywood, Florida, with active traffic and adjacent waterways, requiring effective maintenance of traffic, environmental controls, and phased construction sequencing. The contractor will be responsible for maintaining traffic and pedestrian access, constructing over an active canal with environmental controls, and relocating critical water and wastewater utilities while maintaining uninterrupted service. The City is seeking experienced Florida-based heavy civil and bridge contractors with demonstrated success on bridge replacements, urban utility relocations, and work over waterways. The project has achieved key regulatory milestones, including permits from Broward County (Environmental Resource License) and Conceptual Approval from the South Florida Water Management District. It is partially funded through the Florida Department of Transportation State-Funded Grant Agreement (FPN 453172-1-54-01) and the Broward County Transportation Surtax Municipal Match Program, with the remaining portions funded by the City of Hollywood. All work is subject to applicable federal, state, county, and local laws, including grant funding requirements where applicable.
