Atlantic Beach awards $851,187 water‑main contract for Sherry Drive extension; DOD grant covers 75%
Summary
The commission approved an $851,187.85 contract to American Civil Construction Inc. for the Sherry Drive Water Main Extension Phase 2 project, which staff says will improve fire protection and provide emergency potable water for NAS Mayport; staff said 75% will be reimbursed by a Department of Defense grant.
The Atlantic Beach City Commission voted Feb. 23 to award the Sherry Drive Water Main Extension Phase 2 contract to American Civil Construction Inc. for $851,187.85 under Resolution (agenda item 8a). City staff described the project as a second-phase extension to support NAS Mayport with an emergency potable source and to improve fire protection for nearby properties, including Anchor Academy and planned developments along Mayport Road.
Interim City Manager Kevin Hogancamp told commissioners the project will also improve water service to properties on the northeast corner of Wonderwood and Mayport and provide fire‑suppression improvements for planned development north of Wonderwood. Staff said approximately 75% of the project cost will be reimbursed through a Defense Community Infrastructure Grant from the U.S. Department of Defense.
Commissioners expressed support for the award; the resolution passed by voice vote. Staff emphasized the project’s strategic value for regional partnerships and public safety. The contract authorization allows the city manager to execute agreements and purchase orders necessary to implement the work.
Next steps: staff will proceed with contract execution, coordinate reimbursement paperwork for the DOD grant, and schedule construction; no specific construction timeline was included in the meeting materials.
