Council OKs $133,500 design contract for Park of Honor stormwater pump
Summary
The South Daytona City Council unanimously approved a $133,500 contract with Mead & Hunt to design and permit a replacement stormwater pump station at the Park of Honor, funded by a FEMA grant; staff said Mead & Hunt ranked highest in a federal procurement process.
The South Daytona City Council on June 9 approved a $133,500 contract with Mead & Hunt to design and permit a replacement stormwater pumping station at the Park of Honor, a project funded by a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant.
City Manager James L. Gillis told the council the FEMA award requires federal procurement procedures and that the city solicited Statements of Qualifications; “the firm ranked highest by the City’s Selection Committee was Mead & Hunt,” Gillis said. He added that Mead & Hunt has completed multiple design projects for the city previously and was ready to start on design work immediately if authorized.
Vice‑Mayor Doug Quartier moved to approve the contract and Councilwoman Lisa O’Neal seconded; the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Eric Sander said he was eager to see the project begin.
The council record shows the project aims to alleviate flooding in the Western Road, Katherine Street and Jacobs Road area by replacing the pump inside the Park of Honor. The city described the work as grant‑funded so that the cost is not borne directly by residents. The council did not set a construction schedule in the discussion recorded in the minutes; staff noted only that Mead & Hunt is ready to begin design work.
