This contract involves providing construction engineering, inspection, and project management services for two key infrastructure projects: the Alger Rd bridge replacement and the Jefferson Ave culvert rehabilitation in Escambia County, Florida. The designated Consultant is tasked with administering these County construction contracts with authority equivalent to that of Escambia County itself, working collaboratively with County officials to ensure professional oversight, effective contract administration, and project completion within budget and on schedule. Although the Consultant holds significant responsibility and authority, Escambia County retains final decision-making power over any disputes or challenges to the Consultant’s actions by contractors. The overarching objective is to facilitate a cooperative working environment among the Consultant, contractors, and County stakeholders while minimizing public inconvenience and maximizing safety throughout the projects. The solicitation for these services was issued in February 2026, with responses due by the end of March 2026, managed through the Escambia County Engineering department headquartered in Pensacola, Florida. The contract is subject to federal requirements, including compliance with Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, emphasizing commitments to provide employment and economic opportunities to low- and very low-income individuals. Contractors must adhere to HUD regulations and certify their employment practices accordingly. The contract also includes specific provisions related to Indian housing assistance under the Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, imposing additional compliance obligations. Point of contact for the solicitation is the Purchasing Coordinator for Escambia County, underscoring the County’s involvement and oversight throughout the project lifecycle.
