The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) has awarded the City of Bradenton funding through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) for development of a Citywide Stormwater Master Plan. The purpose of the plan is to assess and prioritize existing and potential stormwater issues, identify areas with elevated flood risk, evaluate the existing stormwater system, and develop recommendations and conceptual solutions to improve stormwater management and community flood resiliency.
The total approved project cost is $300,000, consisting of $225,000 in federal HMGP funding (75%) and a $75,000 non-federal City share (25%). The agreement is structured as a cost-reimbursement grant, with eligible project costs reimbursed by FDEM upon completion and approval of required deliverables.
The project will include data collection, evaluation of the City’s existing stormwater infrastructure, flood modeling, preparation of a preliminary Stormwater Master Plan, and preparation of the final plan following review by FDEM. The agreement anticipates local procurement of the contractual services necessary to complete the work. The approved budget identifies the entire $300,000 project cost as contractual services.
The agreement’s period of performance ends May 31, 2028.
The total project cost is $300,000, with FEMA providing $225,000 (75%) through FDEM and the City responsible for the $75,000 (25%) non-federal share. Funding is provided on a cost-reimbursement basis.
