7. Reuse of Documents. The City shall have unlimited rights, for the benefit of the City in all drawings, designs,

City Council Regular Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns the City of Port Orange's rights regarding architectural documents and drawings for city projects. The city plans to have unlimited rights to use drawings, designs, and specifications created by an architect for any city work without extra cost. This includes as-built drawings after a project is finished. The architect's work is considered an instrument of service for the project. If the city reuses these documents for another project without the architect's verification or adaptation, it will be at the city's own risk. Any necessary verification or adaptation by the architect for reuse will require additional agreed-upon compensation. A reproducible set of plans and specifications will be given to the city upon project completion. This item is currently under review by the City Council. The scope of work involves the creation and delivery of architectural plans and specifications, and potentially site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, framing, mechanical, and finish trades for future city projects where these documents might be applied. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process, as it could lead to future construction and development opportunities for the city.
