The City of Fort Pierce was awarded a Florida Department of Protection (FDEP) Resilient Florida Grant to complete a Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment (VA) in the amount of $159,655.00. The completion of the Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment is pursued through a Specific Authorization with Kimley-Horn and Associates, who completed the City's 2005 Citywide Stormwater Master Plan (SWMP). The 2005 SWMP is in need of updating and the Vulnerability Assessment through the Resilient Florida Grant is the first step in updating the SWMP.

The City of Fort Pierce's Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment FDEP Grant Agreement No. 24PLN31 was executed by the City on December 16th, 2024 and FDEP on January 6, 2025. The Grant Agreement Amendment No. 1 addressed changes from a 24PLN Grant Work Plan to a 25PLN Grant Work Plan Template and extended Grant Task deadlines through March 31, 2026. Grant Agreement Amendment No. 1 was executed by the City of June 2, 2025 and FDEP on June 4, 2025.  The Grant Agreement Amendment No. 2 addresses revised task deadlines and a six(6) month extension of the Agreement. To date, the City has submitted both Tasks 1 and 2 to FDEP. FDEP has accepted Task 1, and it is deemed complete as of October 2025. Task 2 was submitted in early December and is currently under review by FDEP.

FDEP has specified that the Amendment is to be executed and returned within 60 days of the email notification dated December 11th, 2025.

Staff recommends approval of the Grant Agreement Amendment No. 2.

The current task deadlines require revisions in order to complete the project.
