HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The Hollice T. Williams Stormwater Park Restoration Project will include the planning and design of dual-use stormwater and recreational features under the Interstate 110 corridor (owned by FDOT) at the Hollice T. Williams Park. Untreated stormwater currently discharges into Pensacola Bay, which impairs the water quality of the Bay and surrounding bodies of water. The project will aid in collecting and treating stormwater runoff under the Interstate 110 overpass in downtown Pensacola. This project will also provide for multi-use recreational basins, including multi-use youth sports fields and a separate skate park, which are effective tools in managing and treating large run-off volumes generated during storm events while maximizing the recreational and socio-economic use of public lands.
To initiate and complete the planning and design phase of the project, the City and Escambia County will participate in an Interlocal Agreement. Essentially, Escambia County will be responsible for managing, administering and completing the design of the project, which shall include procurement/selection of professional architecture and engineering services. The City shall directly participate in the selection of the professional services and shall also provide technical assistance during actual design to ensure compliance with the City’s Land Development Code. The City and County will coordinate to be jointly engaged at public stakeholder meetings and the City will provide Escambia County with concurrence of the final project design package.
