Marion County is considering a contract amendment for the Marion Oaks Extension project. This project involves improvements along SW 49th Avenue to S Hwy 475. The proposed amendment, identified as 16Q-052-CA-02, is currently pending approval by the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, this amendment would add $1,371,969 to the project budget. The work is expected to involve significant infrastructure development, potentially including road construction, utility upgrades, and site preparation. Contractors specializing in civil engineering, site preparation, grading, paving, and utility work may find opportunities. Suppliers of construction materials and equipment could also be involved. Reaching out to the county or the engineering firm early in the process, before final bids and permits are issued, could provide a competitive advantage for local businesses.
