S.W.A.T. services in all five jurisdictions as the Central Florida Metro Swat Team. The integrated

Study with Pegasus Engineering. (Public Works Director Krug)
The City Commission approved the Downtown Master Plan in October 2016 and the project list
associated with the plan. A key component to the Plan is the development of a master regional
stormwater facility. The first step in the process of taking the master plan from concept to reality is to
conduct a feasibility study. Public Works contacted the continuing engineering services firm,
Pegasus Engineering, to handle this task as several key people that were involved with the evolution
of the City's Stormwater program are part of the Pegasus design team. This feasibility study will
establish the parameters for the design, then construction of the regional stormwater facility for
development. Public Works worked with Pegasus to develop a meaningful scope for the study by
breaking the work into tasks for; existing conditions analysis, proposed conditions analysis for Study
Area 1 (City Hall complex east of Bluford Ave.), proposed conditions analysis for Study Area 2
(Taylor St. to Bluford Ave.) and the final summary report. These tasks will provide deliverable
reports that can then be used to solicit engineering services for the final design and construction. The
City is currently performing an existing conditions survey of the City Hall Complex, which can also
be used by Pegasus for the Existing Conditions Analysis of Task 1 leading to additional time and cost
savings. The$150,098.04 for the study is available in the Stormwater Capital Improvements.
