This is a Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study document for Escambia County, Florida, in coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), relating to the West Kingsfield Road (CR 186) Extension project. The county is seeking a FDOT pre-qualified consulting engineering firm to conduct professional services for extending West Kingsfield Road approximately 2.1 miles from the realigned Beulah Road near the Perdido Landfill to west of Feldon Lane. The proposed roadway will be designed as a two-lane facility with both urban and rural typical sections, including 6-foot sidewalks, curb and gutter, 12-foot travel lanes, and paved shoulders. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was released on October 22, 2025, with questions due by November 17, 2025, and proposal responses required by November 24, 2025, at 10:00 am. The evaluation process will be conducted in two phases, with proposals scored across five key criteria: experience with PD&E studies, pedestrian safety expertise, stormwater and drainage analysis, team member roles and expertise, and recent project experience, with each criterion worth 20 points for a total of 100 possible points.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including insurance certificates, E-Verify certification, anti-human trafficking affidavit, sworn statements, and conflict of interest forms. Specific budget ranges are not explicitly outlined in the procurement documents. The project involves multiple mapped parcels along the proposed route with complex terrain including wetlands and varied property boundaries that will require careful environmental and land use analysis. Detailed mapping indicates right-of-way and setback considerations that must be addressed during the study phase. The project appears to be funded through standard county and transportation department channels, with the study intended to develop a comprehensive plan for expanding and improving West Kingsfield Road while meeting current and future transportation infrastructure needs in Escambia County.
