The South Palafox Street Pedestrian Improvements Project aims to enhance pedestrian and vehicular circulation in downtown Pensacola, Florida, along South Palafox Street and adjacent areas, while incorporating additional pedestrian safety upgrades. The project focuses on improving the pedestrian experience through thoughtful landscape architecture and engineering services. The design areas include:

    South Palafox Street: From south of Garden Street to north of Main Street.
    Romana Street: Between Baylen Street and Jefferson Street.
    Intendencia Street: Between Baylen Street and Jefferson Street.
    Government Street: Between Baylen Street and Jefferson Street.
    Intersections: South Palafox Street at Garden Street and South Palafox Street at Main Street.
    Additional Areas for Bollard Placement: Along Zarragossa and Garden Streets, as identified in coordination with City staff and the Pensacola Police Department.

The contractor will execute the construction based on the Release for Construction (RFC) set prepared by Baskerville-Donovan, Inc. (BDI) and Jerry Pate Design (JPD). The RFC set is organized into phases (A through I), with each phase representing a miniature plan set covering a block-to-block segment. This structure provides the contractor flexibility to begin and end work in distinct phases, minimizing disruption to the surrounding area. The contractor must ensure compliance with the City of Pensacola codes, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) standards, and the project’s conceptual design.
