I'll point to the obvious.

http://www.google.com/search?q=bahia+grass+control
http://www.google.com/search?q=bahia+centipede+control

Which coughs up metsulfuron among other herbicides.

Then you'll probably want to look through
http://www.google.com/search?q=metsulfuron+centipede

Lather rinse repeat for each herbicide that is effective against
bahia to check to see if it's safe with centipede.

Any areas that you intend to just renovate, kill it all with
glycophosphate (roundup).

My viewpoint is that growing turf grass here is a losing battle
unless you're aiming to have a patch of grass for a specific purpose.
The bahia seems to thrive in these miserable conditions.

And if you're aiming for a patch of grass for a specific purpose,
take the time to use a rock rake to
1) de-rock the area
2) Mix in compost, as well as the quantities of lime and fertilizer
a soil test suggests.
Then seed or sod with something appropriate for the long term
use, maintenance, and irrigation you intend.
Then irrigate it properly until established.
Then figure out what you're going to do to be able to provide
70gallons/week/100sqft
from atleast may to october if you choose fescue
