EMERGENCY/NATURAL DISASTER

Emergency Contract H3742 is an agreement between the Florida Department of Transportation and Panhandle Grading and Paving Inc. for debris removal operations on state-maintained roadways in Escambia County. Executed on October 15, 2026, the contract was established in response to Hurricane Isaac and Governor Executive Order 26-02 to facilitate emergency recovery. The contract period runs from October 16, 2026, to November 15, 2026, with compensation based on unit prices up to a maximum limiting amount of 2,000,000 dollars. Under this agreement, Task Work Order 1 was issued with a value of 945,588 dollars. A subsequent amendment to this work order, executed on October 17, 2026, revised the specific locations for debris removal and identified several excluded roadways, though the total amount for the task work order remained unchanged. These operations are supported by the broader emergency declarations and statutory suspensions authorized by the Governor to expedite purchasing and response efforts.
