6. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 02-2022, Redistricting and otherwise revising
City Commission districts based on the 2020 U.S. Census at first reading - Ron
A. Paradise, Community Services Director (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Organizational Stability, Consistency and Security
Background: The City of Deltona Charter establishes a representative form of
government predicated on the creation of six individual districts. The
seven member City Commission is comprised of six district
commissioners elected from each district and a mayor elected at large.
Each of the six districts are associated with a specific geography. The
present districts were determined as part of Ordinance No. 17-2011.
Ordinance No. 17-2011 represented the second redistricting effort and
was a result of the decennial 2010 update to the U.S. Census. The
Census has been updated again as part of the 2020 U.S. Census and
the City, according to the City Charter, has engaged in another
redistricting cycle. Section 9(1)(b) of the City Charter provides the
following requirement with regard to redistricting: “The District
boundaries shall be revised every 10 years based on population figures
following the release of census tract data.”
Census tract data associated with the 2020 Census was finalized in
September of 2020. The population of the City was revealed to be
93,701. Since the 2010 Census, the City has grown over 8,500
persons which represents a 9% increase of population. The goal of a
local government is to ensure a certain degree of population parity
between districts. However, there can be overriding interest and related
factors regarding the establishment or recognition of political
City of Deltona Page 2 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
boundaries besides population uniformity.
Examples of overriding interest and related factors include the affording
of appropriate representation, avoiding/minimizing voter confusion,
accounting for future growth trends and in some cases maximizing the
representation of certain communities.
On October 25, 2021 at a Workshop, the City Commission directed
staff to keep the districts as close as possible to the existing
boundaries. The attached legal descriptions and map do keep the
boundaries consistent with the existing boundaries. However, the
district boundaries have been revised and otherwise updated to take
into account changes in Census mapping from the 2010 to the 2020
Census, and annexation. The only district expanded in size is District 6.
The intent is to recognize a 10 acre annexation which occurred in 2018.
The rationale for the districts as proposed, as a result of the 2020
Census, are as follows:
1) The proposed districts will not create any voter confusion;
2) Deltona is a diverse community. No minority concentrations are
noted, and districts as proposed do facilitate equal
representation;
3) District population differences at no more than 6.2% are well
under the 10% threshold; and
4) Future growth starting in the next five years has the potential to
balance out some of the present district population differences.
This is especially evident regarding District 6 where as many as
eight new developments with potentially 1642 units are entitled.
For more information on redistricting including the census data legal
descriptions see the attached staff report. In addition, attached is a
map of the districts as per the City redistricting effort.
The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of
scrivener’s errors and the like.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Ordinance 02-2022 redistricting the City districts as
per the 2020 Census
Advantages:
a. The proposed districts will not create voter confusion.
b. No minority concentrations will be disenfranchised.
c. The district population differences are minor, 6.2% at the
greatest, and are within defensible legal tolerances.
d. Future growth has the potential to balance out some of the
present district population differences.
Disadvantages:
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
a. The expected growth may not occur thus perpetuating a
population imbalance.
2. Do not approve Ordinance 02-2022 redistricting the City
districts as per the 2020 Census
Advantages:
a. The City could have the opportunity to achieve greater
population parity between districts.
Disadvantages:
a. Protracted redistricting could lead to the perception that
boundaries are being proposed to create political
advantage.
b. Voter confusion could be the result.
c. The City could miss or come close to missing the deadline
for redistricting (March of 2022).

B. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 06-2021, Amending Ordinance No. 21-2009, as
amended by Ordinance No. 10-2018, representing a Major Amendment to the
Deltona Village Business Planned Unit Development (BPUD) to incorporate
eight (8) separate parcels totaling approximately 10.3 acres to the BPUD and
vacating certain lots and right of ways associated with various additions to the
Davis Park plat. Ron A. Paradise, Director, Community Development, (386)
878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development - Expanding target business niche.
Background: The goal of the major amendment to the Deltona Village BPUD is to
add eight (8) parcels totaling approximately 10.3 acres of land. The
amendment does not change any of the uses, development standards
or other parameters of the Deltona Village BPUD. In addition, to assist
in the integration of the eight (8) parcels into the BPUD, ordinance No.
06-2021 also includes the vacation of lots and public rights of way
associated with the first, second and sixteenth additions of an
antiquated 1920’s vintage subdivision known as Davis Park. The
vacation element of this request impacts six (6) of the eight (8) parcels.
The right of way areas that are part of the vacation action total about
one (1) acre of land. These right of ways proposed for vacation
represent half of the original platted right of ways. The other half were
vacated by the City many years ago at the request of the applicant. The
right of ways have no functional utility for the City currently or into the
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
future.
The information on the eight (8) parcels is best expressed in a table
format. A table indicating the eight (8) parcels is attached as part of this
agenda package.
For more information see the attached staff report and map series.
The Planning and Zoning Board did hear this request on October 20,
2021. The Planning and Zoning Board did recommend the City
Commission approve the requested amendment to the BPUD and also
indicated the Master Development Plan (MDP) associated with the
Deltona Village BPUD be updated to include the inclusion of the eight
(8) parcels. The applicant has provided an updated graphic to indicate
the inclusion of the parcels into the “Deltona Village Overall Site
Development Plan”. See attached.
The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of
scrivener’s errors and the like.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the amendment to the Deltona Village BPUD by
adding eight (8) exception/hold out parcels to the BPUD and
vacating certain lots and right of ways.
Advantages:
a. The property can be developed under a more unified
development pattern;
b. A more unified development pattern will facilitate more
synergistic projects at an appropriate scale that are
consistent with modern development forms; and
c. The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan by
furthering several provisions that address the repurposing of
antiquated plats to facilitate mixed use development formats.
Disadvantages:
a. The City will be giving up about an acre of land through the
vacation of non-connected, limited utility City right of ways.
2. Do not approve the amendment to the Deltona Village BPUD
by adding eight (8) exception/hold out parcels to the BPUD
and vacating certain lots and right of ways.
Advantages:
a. The City will retain the approximate one acre of right of way.
Disadvantages:
City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
a. There will be a possibility that there could be a more
uncoordinated and disjointed development pattern not taking
ready advantage of shared access and interconnectivity
associated with a unified development;
b. Some of the eight (8) parcels are too small to accommodate
modern development forms and requirements such as
parking and stormwater;
c. Not incorporating these parcels into the BPUD can hinder
the development of the Deltona Village BPUD by creating
inholdings and exceptions resulting in non-traditional lot
boundaries and design challenges; and
d. Six (6) of the eight parcels will remain as part of the obsolete,
antiquated Davis Park subdivision.

Vineland Reserve Phase 2 - Ron A. Paradise, Community Development
Director, (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Provide a diversity of housing choices in the City.
Background: The Vineland Reserve Phase 2 Final Plat Application (SD21-0007) is
a proposal to subdivide approximately 40.97-acres of the Vineland
Reserve Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD). The
Vineland Reserve Planned Unit Development, including lot sizes,
density, access, etc. represents already determined City policy
approved in 2016.
The proposed subdivision provides for 152 single-family lots (typical
50’x115’), open space tracts, landscape buffer and drainage tracts, an
amenity tract, and four (4) streets to be dedicated to the City as Public
Rights-of-Way (ROW). The subdivision will provide a direct connection
City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
to Doyle Road via an 80-foot ROW to be dedicated to the City, known
as Peach Creek Drive. Consistent with Land Development Code
Section 96-76, staff received a Letter of Credit and Agreement (bond)
in the amount of $1,562,570.55.

c. A bond will be afforded to ensure infrastructure is constructed to
appropriate specifications
Disadvantages:
a. None.
2. Do not approve Resolution No. 2021-62 and do not accept the plat.
Advantages:
a. None

D. Public hearing - Request for approval of the program year 2020-2021 CDBG
Consolidated Annual Action Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) -
City of Deltona Page 7 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
Ron A. Paradise, Director, Community Services (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Support community organizations.
Background: The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
requires the CAPER be submitted annually to remain federally grant
compliant. The CAPER is a summary of City activities accomplished
under Title 24 of the HUD funded Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program. The CAPER is formulated in accordance with HUD
regulations governing consolidated submissions (24 CFR 91.520) and
a purpose of the report is to document the proper use of HUD funds by
the City for activities and projects accomplished within a HUD program
year (PY). For this PY, activities include park upgrades, housing
assistance, public works drainage projects, social service funding,
administration and CARES act expenditures.
The CAPER is associated with the Five-Year Consolidated Plan (CP)
which establishes strategic goals for the City CDBG activities listed in
the Annual Action Plan (AAP). The current CP for 2018-2022 is
updated annually by the AAP to report the implementation of the CP for
grant compliance. The CAPER consists of narratives, tables, and
charts documenting the appropriate spending of grant funds and
highlighting efforts made by the City to improve citizen quality of life.
Finally, in accordance with the required citizen participation plan, the
City has observed a 15-day public comment period and no comments
were received verbally or in writing.
For more information see the attached PY 2020-2021 CAPER.
The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of
scrivener’s errors and the like.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the CAPER and direct the Acting City Manager to
transmit the report to HUD.
Advantages:
a. The City will remain in grant compliance and continue to be
eligible for current and continued CDBG funding.
b. The City will have funds to support various social service
entities.
c. The City will be able to defray the costs of public works and
park projects within identified ‘areas of greatest need’
Disadvantages:
a. None
City of Deltona Page 8 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
2. Do not approve the CAPER.
Advantages:
a. The City will not have to invest in grant compliance activity as
HUD funds will be withheld.
Disadvantages:
a. The City will not have access to CDBG funds that have been
traditionally used to fund stormwater and park projects.
b. CDBG money will not be available to fund public service
entities.

7. OLD BUSINESS:
8. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Selection of Vice Mayor - Joyce Raftery, City Clerk Department (386)
878-8502.
Strategic Goal: Internal/External Communication
Background: Section 5, Item (5), The Vice Mayor: Election of Duties, of the City
Charter provides that: “There shall be a Vice Mayor elected annually by
the Commission from among the Commissioners. Such selection shall
take place at the first meeting after the general election.”
B. Contract - Authorizing the Acting City Manager, consistent with the City land
acquisition policy, to secure two independent appraisals for the purpose of
purchasing an 80 x an approximately 1,700 strip of land to accommodate a
segment of the future Rhode Island Ave. extension and authorizing the Acting
City Manager to negotiate the purchase of the land - Ron A. Paradise,
Community Development Director (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Develop the infrastructure and land needed for business
development.
Background: As part of the year 2021-2022 budget, the City allocated $10,000,000
for the construction of a road known locally as the Rhode Island Ave.
extension. The subject Rhode Island Ave. extension refers to a
conceptual roadway running from N. Normandy Blvd. to Howland Blvd.
More specifically, the new road segment would extend east from N.
Normandy Blvd., curve to the north, and then trend north grading into the
MSgt Tara Jacobs Brown Ave. corridor eventually intersecting with
Howland Blvd.
City of Deltona Page 9 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
The Rhode Island Ave. extension would serve to relieve traffic
congestion on parallel facilities such as Graves Ave., Howland Blvd.
and Saxon Blvd. The road would also create economic opportunity by
providing access to undeveloped land earmarked for industrial land
uses as part of the City Activity Center.
The City has been presented with an opportunity to obtain
approximately 1,700 linear feet of future right of way at an 80 foot width
from an established landowner. The 80 foot wide envelope is sufficient
room to accommodate drainage, utilities, pedestrian facilities and four
travel lanes constructed at an urban cross section. (Note: There is
anticipation as land around this segment of roadway develops, there
will be a 20 foot easement for pedestrian facilities and other urban
amenities flanking the western margin of the future right of way.) This
right of way acquisition agreement is part of the development of an
adjacent parcel for an upscale apartment project. Thus time is of the
essence for that development.
The City has a land acquisition policy modeled after the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) land acquisition standards. The
intent of the City implementing the FDOT standards is to ensure land
acquisition is conducted in a transparent and equitable (to both the City
and the landowner) manner. In short where there is a case of a willing
buyer and seller, to initiate land acquisition activity the City will need to
obtain two independent appraisals of which to justify/establish value.
After the appraisal process is authorized by the City Commission,
produced by two independent firms, and analyzed, the Acting City
Manager will negotiate and complete the transaction with the landowner
(anticipated value of this transaction is less than $1,000,000). This
transaction will be based on the average of two independent appraisals
by licensed appraiser in conformance with the FDOT Land Acquisition
Standards. Please note: Any final land acquisition deal for the subject
corridor will be reported back to the Commission.
.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the request to contract for the independent appraisals
and authorize the Acting City Manager to negotiate and finalize
the purchase of the right of way.
Advantages:
a. The City can start to secure needed right of way for the
Rhode Island Ave. extension.
b. Economic development opportunities afforded by the new
road can be realized sooner.
City of Deltona Page 10 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
c. The adjoining development will be able to move forward.
d. The cost of land may go up so acting sooner than later may
save the City money in the long run.
e. Demonstrates a City commitment to the Rhode Island Ave.
project to both the County (Traffic on County roads would be
relieved by the Rhode Island Ave. extension.) and economic
investment community.
Disadvantages:
a. The City may be positioning to buy land at the height of the
market.
2. Do not approve the request to contract for the independent
appraisals and do not authorize the Acting City Manager to start
negotiations for purchase of the right of way.
Advantages:
a. The City can defer an expensive project - Rhode Island Ave.
extension.
b. Cost of real estate may fall based on market factors.
Disadvantages:
a. City may not realize economic development opportunities by
not committing to a major roadway.
b. The development of the adjoining project will likely not occur.
c. Traffic congestion on traditional City thoroughfares will
increase without the Rhode Island reliever.
d. The price of land may increase.
C. Request for approval of Resolution No. 2021-63 to maintain a General Fund
Economic Emergency Reserve for fiscal year 2021/2022 and provide for the
Reserve every year thereafter. - Mari Leisen, Finance, 386 878-8553
Strategic Goal: Fiscal Issues - Maintain current fiscal stability
Background: In the interest of prudent financial planning, and in an effort to formalize
by the way of a Commission resolution the minimum amount of
reserves to be maintained by the City’s General Fund, staff is
recommending that the City formally maintain an Economic Emergency
Reserve. This Fund Balance Policy will provide for a stable financial
environment that allows the City to maintain a measure of financial
protection against unanticipated events that would adversely affect the
financial condition of the City and jeopardize the continuation of
necessary public services.
In order to establish a cash threshold for emergencies, an emergency
City of Deltona Page 11 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
reserve shall be maintained at an amount up to $12,000,000. This
dollar figure is equivalent to the amount of loss revenue from 2007 to
present due to the economic turn down. Given our current mileage rate,
it is imperative to have these funds in reserve going forward.
Attachments: 2021-63-Reso Economic Emergency Reserve
D. Request for approval of an Indemnity Agreement to assign two new
indemnitees to serve as agents for the City of Deltona 401(a) and the 457(b)
Deferred Compensation Plans - Mari Leisen, Finance Director (386) 878-8553.
Strategic Goal: Fiscal Issues
Background: The City’s entered into an agreement with NFP on May 18, 2020, to
provide advisory, compliance, and plan education services for its
Section 401(a) and 457(a) deferred compensation plans offered to
employees to carry out its fiduciary responsibility and comply with
ERISA standards. On October 18, 2021, the Commission approved
new members to replace employees that have left employment with the
City. This agenda item adds two additional representatives, Rebecca
Wilk from Human Resources and Bobbie Bodiford from Public Works
Traffic Operations.
As part of its services, NFP regularly reviews the deferred
compensation plans and their investment offerings. The City
Commission voted on October 19, 2020 to create a Working Group
that will communicate regularly with NFP regarding their review of the
plans, and make decisions about Plan operations; and also
recommends that the members be indemnified in order to allow them to
carry out their responsibilities. Due to staff changes and two additional
new Indemnitees the following persons are recommended to serve on
the working group: Stacey Kifolo, Kate Duffy, Mari Leisen, Julia
Johnson, James Long, Rebecca Wilk and Bobbie Bodiford.
Option 1: Approve the two new members of the Working Group.
Option 2: Do not approve two new members and the Working Group.

E. Request final approval to purchase a replacement fire engine with the approved
budget funds. - Fire Chief Bill Snyder, Fire Department (386) 575-6902.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety
Background: The Fire Department has budgeted $710,000 in this year’s budget for
City of Deltona Page 12 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
the purchase of a replacement fire engine and essential equipment.
One of our reserve engines is approaching 20 years old and no longer
is used due to safety concerns. It exceeds the City’s mileage and year
retirement guidelines. Our vehicle replacement policy for fire engines,
recommends the purchase of a new engine every two years. This
allows us to run each engine for 10 years as a front-line truck and an
additional eight years a reserve engine. We were unable to purchase a
replacement engine two years ago and thus are behind on our
replacement schedule.
The City is able to purchase the truck from Sutphen Corporation, by
piggybacking the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract
#022818 SUT saving time and money. There is a 15% discount given
to government, education and nonprofit organizations. Purchasing
before the end of this year, would also save the city approximately
$47,000 in an added expense due to price increases at the
manufacturer effective January 1, 2022. As with all fire engine
purchases in the past, a prepayment agreement has been requested to
save an additional $15,975.00; paying in full within 30 days of contract
acceptance.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve the purchase of the vehicle to save costs.
2. Deny the purchase of the fire engine and purchase next year with a
manufacturer price increase.

G. Request to award the training room renovations at Fire Station 61 bid to UDH
Contractors, LLC. - Fire Chief Bill Snyder, Fire Department (386) 575-6902.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
City of Deltona Page 14 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
Background: Staff solicited bids for the renovation of the training room at Fire Station
61 which shall include new cabinets, enhancing the space with wall
removal, replacement of old ceiling, interior door removal and fill in, &
other items contained in Bid#22012.
Three bids were received. The three bids were received from A.G.
Pifer Construction Company, LLC; Orange Avenue Enterprises, LLC;
and UDH Contractors, LLC. All of which are attached for your review.
There is no expected reoccurring cost associated with this project
except for standard building maintenance and cleaning.
Staff reviewed the bids and have chosen to recommend awarding the
bid to the lowest bidder, UDH Contractors, LLC, whom are already
established within the city. This will be for a one-time renovation
construction project with a total of $36,915.00 plus if needed an exterior
door replacement of $1,200.00; no projected additional terms or
periods.
OPTIONS:
1. Award the contract to UDH Contractors, LLC.
2. Do nothing

H. Request approval for purchase of a pavilion and its installation at Veteran's
Memorial Park. The entire project is not to exceed approved budgeted amount
of $80,000.00 - Ryan Reckley, Parks & Recreation (386) 878-8902.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Background: The pavilion at Veteran’s Park has reached the end of its life cycle and
needs to be replaced. The best estimate of the pavilions age is 25+
years old. The shingles and wooden posts are in decay and cannot be
repaired. This capital project was approved as part of the Parks and
Recreation department’s continuing plan to modernize and upgrade our
facilities.The new pavilion will encompass the same footprint but will
have a metal gable roof that has a 40-year warranty. The total amount
allocated for this project is $80,000 dollars. This project was approved
as part of the Parks department capital improvement project budget for
fiscal year 2021/22. The cost for the pavilion with RCP Shelters will not
exceed $35,000 dollars and will piggyback off the Clay County contract.
(RFP No. 18/19-2). The cost for installing the new slab and pavilion with
Top Line Recreation, a Deltona based company, will not exceed
$38,000 dollars and will piggyback off the Volusia County School
Board contract (MTS-906BC).
City of Deltona Page 15 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
OPTIONS:
1. Approve new pavilion for Veteran’s Park as part of the capital
improvement project budget that was approved for fiscal year 2021/22.
2. Delay approval of this project until a later date. This option could
lead to a significant increase in costs as the supply chain disruptions
for materials, labor, shipping, etc. continue to increase and are not

I. Request approval for purchase of Electronic gates at Harris Saxon Community
Center, Lake Butler Skate Park and Wes Crile Park, aluminum fencing at
Firefighters Memorial Park and Lake Butler Skate Park and the gates
installation. The entire project is not to exceed total approved budgeted amount
of $170,000.00. - Ryan Reckley, Parks & Recreation Department (386)
878-8902.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure & Fiscal Issues
Background: The Parks and Recreation department’s Capital Improvement Project
(CIP) budget for fiscal year 2021/22 includes new aluminum picket
fencing for the Skate Park and electronic gate access for the Skate
Park, Harris Saxon Community Center and Wes Crile Park. After
consultation with the vendor, some recent product technological
upgrades will allow the City to retain our current rolling gates at the
Harris Saxon Community Center and Wes Crile Park. This will result in
significant cost savings for these projects. As such we are proposing
that we reallocate the costs savings and move forward a future capital
improvement project (Firefighter’s Park aluminum picket fencing) as
part of this item. The total cost for these projects, including the
additional aluminum picket fencing at Firefighter’ Spark is $162,
746.60 dollars The total budget allocated for these park projects is
$170,000 dollars. East Coast Fencing will piggyback off the School
Board contract to provide the aluminum picket fencing and electric
gates and the City’s approved electrical vendor (Electrical Solutions)
will be providing the electric connections and boring service for this
project
OPTIONS:
1. Approve new aluminum picket fencing for Skate Park and electronic
gates for Skate Park, Harris Saxon Community Center & Wes Crile

Park and allocate the cost savings associated with these projects to
include and advance a future capital improvement project for aluminum
picket fencing at Firefighter’s park as part of the capital improvement
project budget.
2. Approve new aluminum picket fencing for Skate Park and electronic
gates for Skate Park, Harris Saxon Community Center & Wes Crile
Park as part of the capital improvement project budget that was

lead to a significant increase in costs as the supply chain disruptions
for materials, labor, shipping, etc. continue to increase and are not
projected to level off until late summer or early fall of 2022 at the
earliest.

K. Request emergency purchase pursuant to section 4.09 of the City’s Purchasing
Policy due to a timing emergency as explained herein below of the Purchase
Order with Jon M Hall Co. to construct a Force Main Relocation from Doyle Rd.
to the first manhole being installed in Summer Breeze St. in Courtland Park Ph
II based upon an emergency authorization provided by the Acting City Manager
in the amount of $49,970.51. - Steven Danskine, Public Works/Deltona Water
(386) 878-8998.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Background: Currently, Osteen Elementary, on Doyle Road, the Winn Dixie Plaza
and Dollar Tree located at the Courtland Blvd. intersection are served
by a sanitary sewer forcemain which extends from the school, westward
on Doyle Rd., and then northward on Courtland Blvd. to Fort Smith
Blvd., where it joins wastewater flows from development in that area. A
distance of nearly 2.5 miles. The amount of wastewater generated by
these properties is not adequate to keep the line flowing and therefore
is prone to plugging.
During the construction of Courtland Park Ph I, it was determined that
connecting this forcemain to the gravity sewer system and subsequent
sanitary sewer forcemain being installed by the Developer may be
advantageous to Deltona Water’s operations. Staff approached the
Developer’s Engineer, Quigg Engineering, Inc. to determine if the
collection system and lift station were adequately sized to take on these
existing flows. Once it was determined that this was a viable option,
Deltona Water engaged the Engineer of Record to undertake the
design and permitting of the relocation project for a fee of $9,000.00.
On November 15, 2021, Quigg Engineering submitted the plans and
permit application to the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) for review and approval. Coincidentally, Phase II of
Courtland Park have been under construction, and the Construction
Contractor, Jon M Hall, are nearing completion of subdivision
infrastructure construction. On November 23, 2021, Jon M Hall
City of Deltona Page 18 Printed on 12/9/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting December 13, 2021
presented the City with a proposal to perform the forcemain relocation
in the amount of $49,970.51, provided this relocation work could be
accomplished before the curbing and paving of Summer Breeze St.
which is anticipated to occur the week of December 13, 2021. Staff
sought and received emergency authorization from the City Manager on
November 30, 2021 to proceed with award of the Contract in light of the
fact that the soonest Commission meeting was set for December 13th.
Delay would entail excavating and patching brand new asphalt and
concrete, along with additional costs.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve - Pay Jon M Hall for the work accomplished.
2. Deny - Incur potential legal liability.

L. Request for approval of Change Order No. 2 for the Elkcam Paved Shoulders
Segment One Project in the amount of $102,014.52 for extra structural work
within the travel lanes. - Steven Danskine, Public Works/Deltona Water (386)
878-8998.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Background: During construction of the Elkcam Paved Shoulders Segment One
Project, it was discovered that 10 discrete areas of the roadway were
exhibiting signs of base failure. The project called for the milling and
resurfacing of this entire stretch of roadway, and these areas were
deemed to require additional base stabilization in order to avoid rapid
deterioration in the near future.
The original Contract price for this project was $1,062,300.62. This
change order constitutes a 9.6% increase in the overall cost of the
project. Additionally, an extra 10 days of Contract time has been
included for this unforeseen work.
While this project is being funded through an FDOT Grant, this
additional structural work is not included in the scope of that grant.
Therefore, City Transportation funds will be required for pay for this
change order. In order to not delay the Contractor further, and extend
the inconvenience and risk to the safety of the traveling public, the
Acting City Manager authorized the completion of this work.
