The City has unique and extensive community needs after the impacts  
of Hurricane Ian & Nicole in 2022. The unprecedented flooding and  
damages sustained not only to Deltona but the entire State of Florida  
has opened up many funding opportunities that the City needs to  
proactively and assertively pursue.

2023 and received two (2) submittals from Pegasus Engineering &  
TetraTech, Inc. The selection committee members ranked each firm  
with a potential of 103 possible points.

projects to pursue through grant applications justifies the need to have  
two firms ready to engage in services as needed.
