About this file
This document is a specification guide published by Escambia County, Florida's Public Works Department Engineering Division for bridge, dock, and boat ramp maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and construction projects. The guide provides supplemental information, specification references, and detailed procedures for work on these structures and is intended to be used in conjunction with the Florida Department of Transportation's Bridge Maintenance and Repair Handbook, FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, and Escambia County Technical Specifications. The specification guide covers a comprehensive range of work categories organized into 10 major sections: Bridge Deck & Approach Joints (including joint maintenance and replacement), Bridge Deck & Approach Repair (timber decks, concrete sealing and patching, drainage), Bridge Deck Overlays (asphalt patching, milling, and new overlays), Traffic Control & Signage, Traffic Handrails & Guardrails, Superstructure Repair (cleaning, painting, bearing maintenance, and beam repairs), Substructure Repair (concrete and steel maintenance, pile jackets, cathodic protection systems), Abutment & Approach Repair (backwall and wingwall repairs, sheet piling, soil anchors), Miscellaneous Repairs (erosion control, channel repair, culvert repair, fender systems), and specialized structures (concrete boat ramps, vinyl sheet pile seawalls, timber piers, and pervious concrete pavement). Each specification includes detailed work descriptions, referenced standards, and specified unit measurements for cost estimation purposes.
The guide establishes that all work must conform to FDOT Standard Specifications with specific exceptions noted, including exclusion of Division I General Requirements, FDOT submittal requirements, and certain testing requirements exceeding county needs. Contractors are required to hold an Escambia County Business License, a General or Marine Specialty State Contractor License, and appropriate federal or state certifications. Performance bonds are required for projects exceeding $250,000, with the bond cost based on $1,000 of total contract cost. Projects are generally structured as lump-sum work with all costs, including material disposal, environmental waste disposal, insurance, and mobilization, included in unit prices or associated pay items unless otherwise specified in individual contract documents. The guide references multiple FDOT approved materials, particularly from the FDOT Approved Products List, and specifies that substitute products are acceptable only if they meet or exceed referenced product requirements and provide equivalent quality. Conflicts between plans, specifications, and contract documents must be reported in writing to the Engineer prior to bid submission; unresolved conflicts default to the most expensive option unless otherwise directed. County inspectors or Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) consultants will conduct all inspection activities, and contractors must provide all necessary facilities for thorough inspection of workmanship.
