HS005_Escambia_County_Regional_Stormwater_Hurricane_Sally_Infrastructure_Repair_Agreement.pdf

This is a Regional Stormwater Hurricane Sally Infrastructure Repair Agreement executed by Escambia County, Florida on May 6-7, 2024. The agreement addresses hurricane damage recovery and establishes the framework for three regional drainage improvement projects funded through the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR HS005) program. The three projects include the Brickyard Road Drainage Improvements involving replacement of a damaged 36-inch culvert pipe with roadway reconstruction and shoulder armoring (estimated construction cost $1.45 million); the Monroe Avenue Drainage Improvements consisting of repair and stabilization of 500 linear feet of damaged articulated block ditch with culvert replacement and roadway reconstruction (estimated construction cost $705,000); and the Oakfield/Palafox Area Drainage Improvements addressing drainage infrastructure improvements along multiple roadways including N Palafox Street, Majors Road, Hancock Lane, Pacific Street, W Oakfield Road, Kenmore Road, Travis Street, and W Pinestead Road (estimated construction cost $14.9 million). The agreement was digitally signed on May 6-7, 2024, with evidence of execution via DocuSign.

The total estimated construction costs across all three projects approximate $16.6 million. The agreement establishes the basis for subsequent solicitations for Construction Engineering & Inspection (CE&I) services, with County preference that CE&I contract costs not exceed 7.5% of estimated construction costs per project, potentially ranging from $1.24 million to $1.28 million collectively across all projects. Funding is provided through the CDBG-DR HS005 program in response to Hurricane Sally disaster recovery needs. The executed agreement demonstrates prior contractual authorization and establishes the regional infrastructure repair initiative framework, with subsequent RFQ processes for CE&I services, preliminary engineering plans prepared by Sigma Consulting Group, Inc., and separate "Not to Exceed" agreements structured based on hourly rates for full-time onsite inspection services for each individual project.
