CR 164 Widening Project in Select Locations

The project involves widening two sections of CR164 in Escambia County, Florida, increasing lane widths from approximately 8.5 feet to 11 feet on both sides of the roadway. The work includes adding 2.5 feet to each lane, constructing a 4-foot grassed shoulder at a 6% slope, and connecting the roadside swale to the existing bottom where present. Six pavement transitions, each 100 feet long, will require milling to facilitate smooth overlays. The entire roadway, totaling 11,420 linear feet, will be overlaid with 2 inches of Type SP 12.5 asphalt, followed by re-striping with thermoplastic striping and RPMs in accordance with FDOT standards. The project also entails landscaping efforts, including sodding the shoulders with Bahia Sod and seeding and mulching disturbed areas. The western segment begins at State Road 97 and extends 3,600 feet eastward, while the eastern segment centers on North Pine Barren Road, extending 3,960 feet in both directions. Existing striping patterns will be maintained with the new striping. The contract is solicited under number 23-24.041, with a response deadline of April 2, 2024, and is managed by Escambia Purchasing, Florida, with primary contact David Miller.
