Not so Fast on an Alligator Alley Lease
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking to lease the 78-mile section of Interstate 75 known as Alligator Alley to a private entity and to increase tolls on the roadway that will guarantee the winning bidder a profit. A state senator has thrown a roadblock in the path of the deal.
On one hand, six private firms are on the FDOT’s short list for the lease. It had originally established December 15 as the deadline for receiving Request for Proposals (RFP) from the six with the expectation of signing a contract with the winner in early 2009. The FDOT has extended the deadline for receipt of the RFPs to January 9 with announcement of the bids to be made public on January 12.
