The Escambia County Engineering Department (County) requests engineering construction plans be developed for the CR297A/97 Realignment Project, including some limited construction administrative services. The design portion of the project will be funded with local area sales taxes (LOST IV). The construction portion of the project will be funded by a combination of LOST IV. The intersection of the roads in question is currently offset by approximately 115 feet and will need to be realigned to increase safety and allow for more efficient traffic flow. The design will also include a new traffic signal at the intersection for better traffic flow. The consultant selected to provide A&E services for the project shall provide for public input, surveying, construction plan preparation, permitting, bidding assistance, and limited project construction oversight.
