Debris Monitoring and Grant Consulting

The City of St. Augustine is seeking to secure a contract for debris monitoring and grant consulting services to support emergency response efforts following major storm events, building on its past experience with hurricanes such as Irma, Dorian, Ian, and Nicole. The primary purpose of the contract is to enable rapid deployment of debris monitoring operations after a declared emergency, ensuring accurate documentation of debris removal activities to meet FEMA Public Assistance and other federal reimbursement criteria. While the city has historically relied on debris monitoring to track and verify volumes of removed material, it is also maintaining the ability to access grant consulting and disaster recovery support services as needed for future events, recognizing that funding and compliance demands may fluctuate with storm severity and operational scope. The contract will ensure continuity of critical post-disaster functions by partnering with a pre-qualified provider capable of immediate response. The solicitation, numbered 26030, was posted on July 28, 2026, with responses due by August 19, 2026, and is managed by the City’s Public Works department under the State of Florida. Services will be performed in St. Augustine, Florida, with a focus on supporting the city’s debris removal contractor and ensuring full compliance with federal grant requirements. The primary point of contact is Steve Wright, Solid Waste and Sanitation Manager, who can be reached at 904-825-1049 or swright@citystaug.com, with Jacob Webber, Grants Coordinator, serving as the secondary contact at 904-209-4302 or jwebber@citystaug.com. The contract aims to streamline emergency response, reduce delays in federal funding acquisition, and strengthen the city’s resilience through preparedness and accurate recordkeeping for disaster recovery funding.
