The City of Deltona, Florida, is soliciting an Invitation to Bid# 25010 for the Elevation of a Flood-Prone Home located at 2560 West Tulsa Drive. This elevation project encompasses a single-family home located within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) classified as Zone “AE”, per FEMA’s Flood Insurance Rate Maps. This home has experienced structural flooding since 1997. Due to the structure's finished floor elevation being below the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) of 50 ft, NAVD established by FEMA, this home is presently at imminent risk of reoccurring flooding. The structure will be elevated 10 feet above current elevation. The habitable living area of the original structure will be elevated, and the non-habitable area will be converted to a parking area and will also serve as a temporary storage area. This project is being funded by FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP Contract No. 4680-024-R). The elevation project will protect this home following the 100-year storm event. Consequently, future flood-related damage and flood claims will be reduced and/or eliminated.
