SUMMARY:
The Bruce Beach Park improvement project carries out a key component of the 2010 Urban Core Redevelopment Plan, as further conceptualized in the Pensacola Waterfront Framework Plan. The Bruce Beach Park is located at 601 West Main Street, adjacent to South Clubbs Street and west of Maritime Park along Pensacola Bay. The Bruce Beach Park improvement project serves to improve public access to the waterfront and to celebrate the site’s rich history as a former lumber planing mill, dry dock and, most notably, an African American recreation center and swimming pool during segregation.
On May 9, 2022, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) awarded bid #22-031 to Biggs Construction Company, Inc. to construct Phase 1 of the project. The item approving award of bid #22-031 indicated an anticipated cost of $186,330 for construction administration (CEI) services. Due to the loss of City construction inspections staff, outside services must be procured to meet the needs of the project. An additional $130,635 is needed to provide for these services through Mott MacDonald.
Since construction of Phase 1 was already underway, procurement of these services was required immediately. Purchase Order (PO) #0081516 was issued to procure the services. The CRA is asked to ratify issuance of PO #0081516.
