Cape Coral to review bids for beautification and infrastructure projects

CAPE CORAL, Fla. —

The Cape Coral City Council will consider awarding bids for several infrastructure and beautification projects.

The projects include median upgrades, sidewalk construction, and hurricane damage repairs in different parts of the city.

Hector Cafferata Sidewalks

Resolution 124-26 addresses the Hector Cafferata sidewalks and turn lanes project. The project would add new sidewalks on the north side of Embers Parkway from El Dorado Boulevard to Chiquita Boulevard.

There would also be new right- and left-turn lanes at the intersection of Embers Parkway and NW 19th Place.

The Cape Coral City Council is considering whether to approve a $908,000 contract with Andrew Site Work for the project.

Surfside Boulevard Project

City Council is also looking into whether to approve a $463,000 contract with P&T Lawn & Tractor Service, Inc. for landscaping and irrigation improvements along Surfside Boulevard medians.

The beautification effort will span medians from the intersection of Surfside Boulevard and Trafalgar Parkway to SW 22nd Place and Veterans Parkway.

The scope of work involves removing existing vegetation, installing new landscaping and irrigation systems, and maintaining the medians for six months post-installation.

Shelby Parkway Median Project

The Cape Coral City Council will also consider whether to award a $341,000 contract to P&T Lawn & Tractor Service for the beautification of Shelby Parkway medians, aiming to improve roadway safety and aesthetics.

City staff members were directed by the City Transportation Advisory Committee in February 2025 to identify unimproved curbed medians for foundational landscape improvements.

The medians on Shelby Parkway and Del Prado Boulevard South were selected for upgrades, which include the installation of trees, palms, irrigation systems, and St. Augustine sod.

Cape Coral City Hall

The city says it also needs repairs to City Hall storefronts damaged by hurricanes. The city is proposing a bid to be awarded to Johnson-Laux Construction, LLC, with a total cost of $623,000.
