This project is located in Commission 4 District. |
| BACKGROUND: |
The issuance of this Purchase Order is necessary to ensure the continuity of services traditionally provided by Water Safety Lifeguards located at Pensacola Beach. The purchase would greatly enhance our ability to efficiently and effectively respond to water rescue calls outside the areas of the lifeguard towers.
When Gulf water conditions present life threatening rip currents, lifeguards patrol eight miles of County property to ensure the safety of the public. Some of this distance is congested and very limited beach sand to drive on. In the commercial core area, the beach hotels (Hampton Inn, Hilton, Holiday Inn) draw thousands of people. This area of beach is very narrow and congested. The need for a lifeguard to patrol the area in a low profile vehicle is necessary. The lifeguards establish a safety presence by patrolling this area continuously.
The ability to patrol this heavily congested area with a UTV greatly limits the liability issue that could arise if the vehicle operator has an accident.
The Public Safety Department worked with James Higdon, Division Manager with Public Works, for quotes and contract information. |
