FDOT awards $4.21 million Nova Road resurfacing contract in Port Orange
The Florida Department of Transportation has listed Masci General Contractor, Inc. as the awardee of a $4,214,599.43 contract to resurface about 3.254 miles of Nova Road in Port Orange, from U.S. 1 to Herbert Street.
The award sets the contractor and contract value for the project, but it does not show that construction has begun. The FDOT records reviewed for this report do not provide a public construction start date or lane-closure schedule.
What FDOT awarded
The project is identified as contract E51G1. It was included in FDOT’s July 9, 2026, letting. The bid tabulation is dated July 16, and FDOT’s District Five award information lists July 27 as the award date.
The bid tabulation identifies Masci General Contractors, Inc. as the responsive winning bidder at $4,214,599.43. It lists C.W. Roberts Contracting, Inc. at $4,711,936.71 and Halifax Paving, Inc. at $5,204,584.26. FDOT’s award page uses the singular name “Masci General Contractor, Inc.” in its award listing.
The solicitation listed an original proposal estimate of $4,867,804. The winning bid was below that estimate. That bid amount is separate from the approximately $4.3 million construction-cost figure shown on FDOT’s project page.
Where the work will occur
The contract documents place the work on State Road 5A, also known as Nova Road, between U.S. 1 and Herbert Street in Port Orange. The bid documents state a contract length of 3.254 miles. FDOT’s project page separately lists the segment as 3.264 miles.
FDOT describes the project’s purpose as maintaining the roadway surface and upgrading pedestrian curb ramps as needed to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards.
What the project includes
The solicitation and bid documents describe work that includes milling and resurfacing, maintenance of traffic, erosion-control measures, drainage-related work and concrete improvements.
Listed work items include sidewalk, driveway and curb-and-gutter work; detectable warnings; pavement markings; traffic sensors; signal-related conduit and cable work; and adjustments to roadway drainage features.
Those requirements mean the eventual construction plan will have to address vehicle movement and pedestrian access. They do not, by themselves, establish a specific detour, lane-closure pattern or business-access plan.
What it could mean locally
Once construction begins, drivers and commuters could encounter work-zone activity along portions of the Nova Road segment. Sidewalk, curb, driveway and curb-ramp work could also affect pedestrian access in individual work areas. Businesses near the route may need to respond to changing access conditions as work shifts from one location to another.
The reviewed records do not say that all work will happen at once, and they do not identify specific detours, lane restrictions or business-access arrangements. Residents and businesses should wait for FDOT or contractor notices before relying on a construction date or traffic pattern.
What remains unknown
The solicitation provides 120 available contract days and 10 contract-execution days. Those are contract terms, not a confirmed field-work calendar. It lists no special start date and includes a flexible-start provision, but the reviewed documents do not state when mobilization or resurfacing will begin.
The next useful update will be FDOT or contractor confirmation of contract execution, mobilization, work dates and traffic-control plans for the U.S. 1-to-Herbert Street segment.
