Construction progress continues on the new Maintenance Operations Center, with sitework development nearing completion and the overall layout of the facility now clearly defined. Crews are transitioning from foundational work into vertical construction, with initial activity now underway on the new fuel depot. This next phase will establish critical infrastructure to support fueling operations for the City’s fleet, helping improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and centralize services. As work advances, the project is steadily moving closer to delivering a modern, fully equipped operations hub to support essential City services.

January 2026

Significant progress is underway on construction at the City of Palm Coast’s new Maintenance Operations Complex, with the site beginning to visibly take shape. Crews have recently completed curbing throughout the property, clearly defining roadways, work areas, and the overall layout of the facility as it transitions from groundwork to vertical development.

Phase 1 of the project is centered on establishing the critical infrastructure needed to support daily operations. This includes extensive underground utility installation, stormwater management systems, and full site development to prepare for the construction of key buildings such as the Fleet Maintenance Building, Fueling Station, and Wash Building. Once complete, these facilities will allow the City to more efficiently maintain vehicles and equipment, streamline operations, and better support essential services across Palm Coast.

August 2025

Strong progress continued on Phase 1 in August, with substantial work completed on underground utilities and storm structures. Full completion of this utility phase is expected by late September. Crews also stabilized and sodded pond buffers and banks for erosion control. Maintaining SWPPP compliance (stormwater pollution prevention requirements) has been challenging due to heavy rainfall, but stabilization efforts remain ongoing. Electrical crews began mobilizing in early September, with pole installation anticipated by mid-month. The project remains on track and continues targeting LEED Silver Certification.

July 2025

Significant progress was made in July with utility installation across the site. Crews installed water mains along the western road and continued coordinated work on utilities and underground storm drains. All pressure piping, including reuse, potable water, and force main, was installed up to the end of Lake 1C. Work also began on the first run of the gravity sewer line, and banks were stabilized to help prevent washouts. Preparations continued for electrical mobilization to install underground electric, low-voltage conduits, and precast light poles.

June 2025

Phase 1 site work advanced in June with procurement of major underground utility and storm system materials, including PVC piping, precast structures, and hydrants. Wet taps were completed at utility mains along Peavy Grade, and planning began for routing reuse and force main lines across the roadway. Coordination for FPL power and conduit routing was finalized, and TECO feasibility was approved. Despite rainy season impacts, additional pipe crews are being brought in to maintain progress. The City’s construction manager also began bidding Phase 1B, with strong contractor participation. The project continues targeting LEED Silver Certification.

May 2025

In May, crews completed importing soils, including the final lift that was originally planned as limerock but was value engineered for substantial cost savings. Materials delivered throughout the month included precast structures, PVC pipe for underground utilities, FPL conduits and transformer pad, and precast poles for lighting and CCTV infrastructure.
