Overview

Summary

During a regularly scheduled Board Meeting in May of 2025, the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners (ECBCC or “County”) voted to replace two (2) existing fire stations and add three (3) new fire stations to areas that don’t have adequate fire protection coverage. Commissioners identified five (5) different locations: Pleasant Grove (Replacement), Myrtle Grove (Replacement), Paradise Beach (New-Bauer Road), Cantonment (New-Kingsfield Road), and Brownsville (New-Location to be Determined). This Request for Letters of Interest (RLI) pertains to the development, design, and construction of one (1) of those fire stations, the replacement of Pleasant Grove Fire Station.

The current Pleasant Grove Fire Station, constructed in 1986 as a pre-engineered metal facility, is insufficient to meet the current and projected operational and spatial requirements of the Fire Department. The facility’s infrastructure also requires substantial upgrades to support, improve, and enhance essential daily operations.

The project site consists of two adjoining parcels owned by the County with a combined total land area of approximately 4.52-acres. This first parcel, ID/Parcel #153S311001018004, is located at 9350 Gulf Beach Hwy, Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida and is the location of the existing Pleasant Grove Fire Station. The second parcel, ID/Parcel #153S311001008004, is located at 9360 Gulf Beach Hwy, Pensacola, Escambia County, Florida. The two parcels shall be combined into a single site for the design and construction of the proposed new fire station. The site plan shall allocate approximately twenty to thirty percent (20–30%) of the land area to be reserved for future expansion.

This proposed new Pleasant Grove Fire Station will be designed and constructed using the Phased Design-Build (PDB) project delivery method. PDB was selected as the delivery method to allow the project to be completed in an expedited and cost-effective manner. The selected Design-Build Team (DBT) will be one that can demonstrate successful past experience on projects of similar size and scope and has the ability to complete this project on time and within budget.

Background

The purpose of this RLI is to secure a contract with a qualified Design-Build Team by the use of a qualification-based selection process pursuant to sections 287.055 (3), (4), and (9), Florida Statute (FS) for entering into a contract whereby the selected firm will, subsequent to competitive negotiations, establish a fee for Phase 1: Conceptual Design and Phase 2: Design Development. During these Phases, the Design-Build Team will perform site investigations, evaluation, and design services to a level of completion required for the Design-Builder and County to establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for Phase 3: Construction Documents and Phase 4: Construction and Contract Administration.

The purpose of this project is to provide a phased approach for the design, development, and construction of a new ground up 1-2 story, Category 5 hurricane-resistant facility for a turnkey delivery to the County to accommodate the new Pleasant Grove Fire Station and full-time firefighting staff. The total planned number of full-time staff will be 3 crews of 10-12 firefighters, with only 1 crew occupying the station at a time. The proposed station will require a minimum of 4 apparatus bays, with the opportunity to add additional bays in the future.
