About this file
This is a Project Description and Scope of Work document for the Transform 386 Taylor Road Flood Mitigation Project, a collaborative effort by Volusia County's Office of Recovery and Resiliency to address hurricane-related flooding in the DeLand area. The project targets the 1,080-acre Lake Towanda basin and proposes stormwater management improvements including property acquisition from willing sellers and installation of a new stormwater pump station with force main at Taylor Road Pond to discharge runoff into Lake Moore. The total project period spans 30 months, structured as 9 months for final design and permitting, 3 months for bid advertisement and contractor selection, 16 months for construction, and 2 months for CDBG-DR grant closeout. Qualifications are evaluated based on firm and personnel qualifications (30% weight), relevant experience with a minimum of five years in stormwater design, floodplain management, environmental engineering, and state and federal permitting (40% weight), and project approach and methodology (30% weight). Responses must be submitted electronically through the County's eProcurement Portal by 3:00 p.m. on May 21, 2026, with questions due by May 7, 2026.
The scope of work comprises twenty deliverables including topographic and boundary surveys, comprehensive environmental review with wetland delineation and endangered species surveys, utility identification, pre-application and field review meetings with permitting agencies (St. Johns River Water Management District and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), geotechnical and subsurface utility engineering services, and preparation of construction documents at 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% completion phases. The project is funded through a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) in response to hurricane damage from Hurricane Ian (September 2022) and Hurricane Milton (October 2024). Respondents must comply with federal E-Verify requirements, register with SAM.gov, maintain Florida professional licensing, provide debarment certifications and human trafficking attestations, and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation ($1,000,000 each-occurrence), commercial general liability ($1,000,000 each-occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate), auto liability ($1,000,000 combined single limits), and professional liability ($2,000,000 per claim/$2,000,000 aggregate), with the County named as an additional insured. The County will process payment on undisputed invoices within forty-five business days of receipt and retains the right to reject proposals and terminate the contract with thirty days' notice or for non-appropriation of funds.

Transform 386 Taylor Road Flood Mitigation Project
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The 1,080-acre Lake Towanda basin are urban drainage areas that encompass mainly residential and natural areas (including wetland) land uses, as well as two major road corridors (Talyor Road and West Volusia Beltway). The extension of Taylor Road from Blue Lake Avenue to the West Volusia Beltline, completed in the late 1990s, included a dry retention pond constructed to manage stormwater runoff from the new road segment. Designed to retain all runoff without discharge, the pond relied on percolation to recover its volume.
The extreme rainfall events in recent years have caused an increased frequency of standing water and elevated water tables in the area. In September 2022, Hurricane Ian brought 11 inches of rainfall to the area, submerging portions of Taylor Road under nearly 8 inches of water. Most recently in October 2024, Hurricane Milton delivered an average of 16 inches of rainfall across Volusia County, with the City of Deland recording 18.32 inches at their Utilities Department weather station. This storm was compounded by already saturated ground, causing significant flooding, inundating many residential yards, and submerging Taylor Road with as much as 2 to 3 feet of water. This persistent flooding impacted the properties in the area, the pond, and Taylor Road. Alleviating frequent flooding for the area is crucial, especially given that there is a fire station near the Taylor Road Pond.
To mitigate for future flood events, the following improvements are proposed for the 99-acre mitigation areas (refer to attached Figure 2 for details):
1. Acquire additional property from willing sellers for additional stormwater storage capacity. Property acquisition to be performed by Volusia County.
2. Install a new stormwater pump station and force main at Taylor Road Pond to discharge stormwater runoff into Lake Moore.
Volusia County’s Public Works Department will be responsible for the required Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of the proposed stormwater pump stations, force mains, and generators.
The total project period is anticipated to be 30 months, with the following schedule:
• 9 months: Final design and permitting services.
• 3 months: Bid advertisement and contractor selection.
• 16 months: Construction of flood mitigation improvements.
• 2 months: CDBG-DR Grant Agreement Project Close-out.
Based on the Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs, the total conceptual cost of the project is approximately xxx dollars.
SCOPE OF WORK
Based on the proposed Flood Mitigation improvements, Volusia County envisions the following general Scope of Work:
1. Attend Project Kick-off Meeting with Representatives of Volusia County.
2. Prepare a Topographic and Boundary Survey.
3. Conduct Full Environmental Review, including but not Limited to Wetland
Delineation and Mitigation, Endangered Species Survey and Tree Survey.
4. Identify all Known Existing Utilities within the Project Limits.
5. Conduct Pre-application and Field Review Meetings with the Permitting
Agencies, e.g., St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
6. Conduct Progress Meetings with County Staff.
7. Perform Geotechnical Services.
8. Perform Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Services.
9. Prepare 30% Conceptual Plans.
10. Prepare 60% Construction Plans and Cost Estimate.
11. Address Comments from County Staff.
12. Prepare an Engineering Report.
13. Prepare 90% Construction Plans and Cost Estimate.
14. Prepare the Draft Project Manual and Supplemental Technical Specifications.
15. Prepare a County Council and City Council Presentation.
16. Prepare and Submit all Required Permit Applications (e.g., SJRWMD, USACE).
17. Address Request for Information (RFI) Comments from permitting agencies.
18. Prepare 100% Construction Plans and Cost Estimate.
19. Prepare the Final Project Manual, Supplemental Technical Specifications, and
Schedule of Values
20. Prepare a Final Technical Memorandum.
