Polk County is considering an agreement with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) for safety upgrades at Bone Valley ATV Park. This project involves a one-time grant of $240,000 from FDACS, with a $60,000 match from Polk County. The agreement is currently pending approval by the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, the project would likely involve site preparation, installation of safety features, and potentially new surfacing or equipment at the park. Contractors specializing in site work, general construction, and potentially landscaping or specialized recreational facility construction could find opportunities. Early engagement with county officials before final plans and permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
