Public Works says Winfield Drive drainage project moving to bid after HMGP approval
Summary
Public Works reported that FEMA/HMGP and Florida Emergency Management recommended moving the Winfield Drive drainage project to construction; town will advertise for bids and expects state reimbursement for eligible construction costs.
Public Works Director Kyle Coacher updated the council on the Winfield Drive drainage project, saying federal and state hazard-mitigation partners (HMGP and Florida Emergency Management) recommended proceeding to construction and accepted the engineer's estimate.
Coacher said staff submitted proof of advertisement and would finalize bid documents for a 30-day advertisement period; the town will solicit bids and then submit construction contracts to the state agency for reimbursement. He told the council that the town typically funds projects up front and receives reimbursement during construction and that the engineering estimate has been accepted by HMGP.
Council members welcomed the news; staff stressed the town would follow grant-reimbursement procedures and noted the project is budgeted with expected reimbursable funds.
