This is a Regional Stormwater Hurricane Sally Infrastructure Repair Agreement executed between Escambia County, Florida and related parties, with DocuSign signatures dated May 6-7, 2024. The agreement addresses three Hurricane Sally-related drainage improvement projects: the Brickyard Road Drainage Improvements (involving replacement of a damaged 36-inch culvert pipe with roadway reconstruction and shoulder armoring at an estimated construction cost of $1.45 million), the Monroe Avenue Drainage Improvements (repair and stabilization of 500 linear feet of damaged articulated block ditch with culvert replacement and roadway reconstruction at an estimated cost of $705,000), and the Oakfield/Palafox Area Drainage Improvements (comprehensive drainage infrastructure improvements along multiple streets at an estimated cost of $14.9 million). The agreement establishes the framework for Construction Engineering and Inspection (CE&I) services delivery, with the selected consultant responsible for comprehensive inspection, project administration, field surveys, quality assurance, testing, and progress payment documentation across all three projects. A mandatory pre-solicitation meeting was scheduled for March 11, 2026 at 3:00 PM via Microsoft Teams or in-person at the Escambia County Office of Purchasing, with questions due by March 30, 2026 at 12:00 PM, and proposals due April 6, 2026 at 10:00 AM.

The agreement establishes that CE&I contract costs shall not exceed 7.5% of estimated construction costs for each project, structured as "Not to Exceed" agreements based on hourly rates for full-time onsite inspections, with total potential CE&I service fees ranging from $1.24 million to $1.28 million across all three projects. Required insurance includes General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate), Workers Compensation (statutory limits), Business Auto ($1,000,000), and Professional Errors and Omissions coverage ($1,000,000/$2,000,000 aggregate). Qualified consultants must demonstrate experience with a minimum of three similar CE&I projects completed within the past seven years and current workload capacity. The total estimated construction costs across all three projects approximate $16.6 million, funded through the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR HS005) program. Any firm previously awarded solicitations for environmental assessment, design services, or owner's representative services on these projects is ineligible to submit CE&I proposals. No set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small business classifications are applicable to this procurement.
