This item concerns a standard contract for services for the City of Port Orange. The contract is for design and permitting services related to the REC West Center. The City is retaining all rights and immunities of sovereign immunity as allowed by Florida law. This means the City's liability for damages is limited to amounts set by the legislature. This item is currently under review. The project involves architectural design and permitting, which would likely lead to future construction phases. These phases could include site preparation, building construction, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the City or the architect early in the process. Understanding the project scope before final bids and permits are issued can provide a competitive advantage.
