NEPA – Section 7 Gulf Sturgeon CommitmentsSummary of major commitments:
No nocturnal pile driving from October through May 5000ft low noise corridor; If full 5000ft feet not feasible, maintain
minimum 1500ft low noise corridor Gulf Breeze landing shoreline waters – pile driving ONLY allowed
from June 1st to August 31st
Noise attenuation and monitoring will be required. Design-Build Firm will handle noise attenuation measures and Department will handle noise monitoring.
Design-Build Firm to propose various noise mitigation strategies during acoustic monitoring.
Ramp up pile driving required Prior to construction, the Department will coordinate with USFWS
to complete consultation. Includes Design-Build Firm providing required information for construction techniques.
USFWS contact – Mary Mittiga will handle all coordination for Gulf Sturgeon for the project

NEPA – Other Species of Concern
Smalltooth Sawfish USFWS guidelines “Sea Turtle and Smalltooth Sawfish
Construction Conditions” Department will continue informal consultation with NMFS after
design information is provided in order to seek a determination of “not likely to adversely affect” the sea turtle and smalltoothsawfish.

Permits
FDOT currently applying for permits for the project Intent is to obtain the permits if possible prior to Design-
Build Firm’s notice to proceed. The Design-Build Firm will then be responsible for permit modifications as needed.
Overall goal to expedite the replacement of the existing bridge
US Coast Guard – design build permit; Design-Build Firms are NOT allowed to contact USCG now and once procurement is underway.
US Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) – dredge and fill permit; Design-Build Firms are allowed to contact ACOE
FDEP – ERP permit; Design-Build Firms are allowed to contact FDEP

PENSACOLA BAY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Existing Bridge Maintenance Prior to Demo
Structurally deficient bridge – no permit loads allowed
Goal to avoid posting the bridge to reduce live load capacity
First order repairs – repairing concrete spalls in superstructure to achieve more shear strength and repairing steel superstructure at the channel span. Substructure repairs not anticipated at this time.
Vibration monitoring in accordance with FDOT Specs
Design, permits and construction responsibility of the Design-Build Firm

Maintenance of Traffic
Maintain all existing travel lanes and turn lanes
Temporary lane closure restrictions – 5:00AM to 8:00PM
Special events – no temporary lane closures allowed
Maintain existing driveways and side roads at all times
Posted speed limits during MOT – maintain existing, but no lower than 10mph below
Hurricane evacuation route
Design-Build Firm prepare a Transportation Management Plan
19
PENSACOLA BAY BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Maintenance of Traffic – Incident Management Road Ranger Service Patrols (RRSP) – each end of the bridge 24
hours a day and 7 days a week; in addition, one backup RRSP vehicle required
Active RRSP will occur daily between 5:00AM to 8:00PM and be available remaining hours of the day
Develop an incident management plan in coordination with local law enforcement officials and other agencies having jurisdiction.
Vehicle refuge area Active Traffic Management
Monitor and manage traffic speeds to achieve uniform speeds with a variance of no more than 10mph across the bridge
Monitor traffic impacts to planned incidents to prevent secondary incidents (i.e. temporary lane closures, construction operations, equipment delivery)
Manage and clear unplanned traffic incidents (i.e. debris, stalled vehicles, abandoned vehicles and crashed vehicles)

Project Requirements
Accommodation of the PD&E for SR 30 (US 98) at 17th
Ave Early PD&E in progress Alternatives being determined, but one potential alternative could
tie-in an elevated roadway to the northbound Pensacola Bay Bridge. This connection would flyover the 17th Ave intersection and potentially connect to SR 30 (Gregory St).
Potential related topics of discussion: 1) traffic control accommodation to maintain new 3 northbound lanes while connecting an elevated roadway to the Pensacola Bay Bridge; 2) consideration of horizontal separation between northbound and southbound bridges; 3) Pensacola Bay end bent elevations
