The National Park Services (NPS) and Santa Rosa Island Public Safety Division (SRI) manage approximately 30 consecutive miles of public beaches within Escambia County, Florida. SRI manages the beaches and associated lifeguard services within the Pensacola Beach area, and the NPS manages the beaches and associated lifeguard services within the adjoining Fort Pickens, Santa Rosa Areas, and the Perdido Key Area. The NPS and SRI continuously respond to and provide assistance to each other on a daily basis for water-related emergencies. The NPS and SRI both hire, train, and supervise lifeguard staff, competing for the same applicant pool, conducting separate training sessions that meet similar certification standards, and providing program management and staff supervision, and often driving past each other in fulfilling these responsibilities.

The Contract will assure consistency of lifeguard services and enable efficiencies realized through resource sharing and economies of scale. The Contract will enhance the safety of beach users in Escambia County, Florida, and within the Florida District of Gulf Islands National Seashore.
