About this opportunity

Escambia County's RESTORE Division of Natural Resources Management (NRM) is soliciting Statements of Qualifications from professional firms to support the Little Sabine Bay Restoration Project, which is funded through the RESTORE Act Pot 1 Direct Component Award. The current procurement is focused on Phase I of the project, which includes comprehensive scientific review, public engagement, and development of a prioritized project list of 4-5 restoration initiatives benefiting Little Sabine Bay. Key deliverables include a summary report on the bay's current ecological state, conducting a public engagement meeting with Pensacola and Perdido Bays Estuary Program (PPBEP) staff assistance, and creating a ranked inventory of potential habitat restoration and water quality improvement projects. A mandatory pre-solicitation meeting is scheduled for November 18, 2025, with final responses due by December 10, 2025, at 10:00 am. The project aims to address historical water quality challenges in the 148-acre inlet located on Pensacola Beach, Florida, including limited circulation, stormwater runoff, boat-related pollution, and erosion, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the bay's ecological health.

The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The project is fully funded by a $2,000,000 federal grant from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, with no cost-sharing requirements, and the funding will primarily be used for contractual services ($1,931,976.20) and minimal personnel costs ($68,023.80). The project period runs from March 1, 2023, through April 30, 2026, with a planned expansion to include Quietwater Beach, as approved by Treasury on February 16, 2024. Respondents will be expected to demonstrate expertise in environmental restoration, water quality improvement, and scientific assessment of coastal ecosystems. While no incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned, the county has previously partnered with the EPA to conduct a four-week water quality monitoring study in September 2025 to establish baseline conditions. Future phases of the project may include detailed design, permitting, and limited construction oversight of selected restoration projects, suggesting potential additional contract opportunities for qualified firms.
