Fabrication, Permitting, and Installation of Walton County Gateway Signs (6 Locations)

Walton County - Beach Operations has issued invitation to bid, solicitation 26-25.

The Project consists of the fabrication and installation of County-approved monument-style entrance signs, removal and/or relocation of existing signage at five (5) of the six (6) locations listed in the Scope of Work and depicted in the design reference package included as Attachment C, new foundation and site preparation at SR 20 West, and all associated permitting through the Florida Department of Transportation and Walton County, including compliance with Scenic Corridor regulations along US 98. Contract Time: The contract duration is days to substantial completion with an additional days for punch list completion.

Walton County's roadway entry points serve as the first impression for the visitors and residents who cross into the county each year, particularly along its major tourism corridors. The County's existing entrance signage is aging, and this project replaces it with a design reflecting Walton's coastal identity, built to current wind-load standards for a high-velocity hurricane zone.
