Bob Sikes Fishing Pier South - Construction - RESTORE and DH017 - Re-Solicit

Escambia County - Purchasing has issued invitation to bid, solicitation PD 25-26.107.

The Bob Sikes Fishing Pier is a key public access facility and community landmark on the Santa Rosa Sound side of Pensacola Beach, serving residents and visitors as a popular destination for fishing and recreation. Due to age, marine exposure, and structural wear, the pier requires targeted rehabilitation to ensure continued safety and functionality. This project will restore and enhance the pier through comprehensive substructure repairs, including implementation of cathodic protection systems to mitigate corrosion and extend the structure’s service life. Repairs will address deterioration of piles, caps, and framing elements to maintain structural integrity and public safety. The project also includes ADA upgrades, lighting improvements, and handrail enhancements to improve accessibility, visibility, and overall user safety. Overall, the project is intended to preserve the pier as a safe, accessible, and sustainable public asset for long-term community use.
