Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is hosting an Industry Forum on Monday, September 17, 2018 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Tampa Westshore Marriott – Grand Ballroom, 1001 N. Westshore Boulevard, Tampa, Florida 33607. Registration/Check-In begins at 8:15 a.m., and the formal presentation begins at 9:00 a.m. Complimentary on-site parking is available. The project to be presented is the Howard Frankland Bridge - I-275 Howard Frankland Bridge from North of SR 687 (4th St. N.) to South of SR 60 in Hillsborough and Pinellas Counties, Florida. The Howard Frankland Bridge project includes replacing the existing northbound bridge. The new bridge will include four non-tolled/general use lanes, two tolled express lanes in both the north and southbound directions, and a 12-foot shared use path adjacent to the non-tolled/general use lanes. Once the new bridge is constructed, the existing northbound bridge will be removed. Traffic will then switch directions on both bridges and the new bridge will become the southbound bridge. The Industry Forum provides an opportunity for Design-Build teams, including contractors, subcontractors, and design consultants, to learn more about the elements and considerations of the Howard Frankland Bridge project. Attendance is not mandatory but is recommended to firms considering bidding on the project. After the presentation, time will be allotted for questions from industry partners. Advanced registration is required by completing a registration form available at www.TampaBayNext.com. Technical Review Committee Team Meetings: Following the Industry Forum, Design-Build teams are invited to meet one-on-one with the project Technical Review Committee (TRC) members and with Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DBE) Support Services Program representatives from the Equal Employment Opportunity Office.
