4. Loss of Critical Function

May 19, 2026 City Council Regular Session · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The City of Mount Dora is reviewing a flood control and drainage improvement project. This project is in the planning stages and is currently under review by the City Council. The proposed work involves drainage improvements, which could include constructing or modifying culverts, drainage pipes, pumping stations, floodgates, bioswales, and detention or retention basins. It may also involve roadway or bridge elevation, flood protection for utility systems, flood diversion and storage measures, or floodplain and stream restoration. The project is described as potentially phased, meaning it could involve initial surveying, engineering, design, and permitting before any construction begins. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the city early in this review process. Engaging before final plans, bids, and permits are settled offers the best opportunity to compete for work related to site preparation, utility installation, paving, and specialized construction trades.
