PD&E Study West Kingsfield Rd (CR 186) Extension to Beulah Rd

Escambia County, Florida is seeking a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pre-qualified consulting engineering firm to conduct a Project Development & Environment (PD&E) study for the West Kingsfield Road (CR 186) Extension project. The procurement involves professional services to extend West Kingsfield Road approximately 2.1 miles from the realigned Beulah Road near the Perdido Landfill to west of Feldon Lane. The roadway will be designed as a two-lane road featuring both urban and rural typical sections, including 6-foot sidewalks, curb and gutter, 12-foot travel lanes, and paved shoulders. 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. Each criterion is worth 20 points, totaling 100 possible points. 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 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. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly outlined in the documents, the project appears to be funded through standard county and transportation department channels. The project involves multiple mapped parcels along the proposed route, with several right-of-way and setback considerations evident in the attached maps. Detailed mapping (Kingsfield_ROW_Map_1 through 5) indicates complex terrain including wetlands and varied property boundaries that will require careful environmental and land use analysis. The study aims to develop a comprehensive plan for expanding and improving West Kingsfield Road while meeting current and future transportation infrastructure needs in Escambia County.
