Defines designer prequalification requirements for Department-owned and permitted non-Department owned pedestrian bridges, including technical and administrative approval based on project value. Specifies design criteria such as clear widths, vertical clearance, lateral offsets for future roadway widening, ramp grades and landings, ADA handrails, and railing or fencing options including screening when crossing State Road right-of-way. Includes references to related FDM and Structures Design Guidelines chapters and notes for non-conventional projects.","266 Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridges  \n266.1 General  \nA separate bicycle and pedestrian bridge may be necessary to provide continuity to sidewalks, bicycle lanes and shared use paths. See FDM 222, 223 , and 224 for information on bicycle and pedestrian facilities.  \nSee Chapter 10 of the Structures Design Guidelines (SDG) for information on pedestrian bridges.  \n266.2 Designer Qualifications  \nEngineering firms must be technically pre-qualified with the Department in the appropriate bridge design work type(s), in accordance with Rule 14-75, Florida Administrative Code , when designing the following:  \n• Department owned pedestrian bridges  \n• Permitted, non-Department owned pedestrian bridges within, under or over State Road right-of-way.  \nFor Department projects only, engineering firms must also be administratively prequalified (approved overhead audit) for projects greater than $500,000 total value per professional services contract.
