Background Information
The North Port Department of Public Works Road and Drainage Operations Building is the original building that was built in the 1990s. It served as a maintenance garage for the Department of Public Works and later was fitted for office space, restrooms, a small kitchen, and covered storage and work area. In 2022, Hurricane Ian caused significant damaged to the building deeming it uninhabitable, therefore staff were temporarily relocated to temporary office trailers. The amount of the damage exceeds the 50% rule governing repair to the building.
The City seeks to demolish the building, optimize parking in its place and build a pole barn type building for Road and Drainage District staff use.
Work Assignment 2023-09PW is issued through the Professional Architectural Services continuing Contract 2023-16.03 between the City of North Port, Florida, and Plunkett Raysich Architects, LLP.
