Repairs to sidewalks in the Mosaic neighborhood in Daytona Beach is going to cost taxpayers over $1.1 million.
A construction bid of $1,194,636 to fix the sidewalks, driveway pavers and landscaping in the neighborhood was approved in a 7-0 vote by the Daytona Beach City Commission on April 15. The construction company is Hazen Construction.
Residents in the Mosaic neighborhood have been dealing with faulty sidewalks for the last two years, causing poor drainage problems in multiple areas. The issue first came up in a July 2025 Daytona Beach City Commission meeting, where the assistant city manager said Daytona Beach is responsible for the repairs to some of the sections of sidewalk.
Commissioner Stacy Cantu brought the issue to the city’s attention last summer after receiving complaints from Mosaic residents about the faulty sidewalks.
During her research, Cantu found memos where staff had signed off on inspections and former City Manager Jim Chisholm and current City Manager Deric Feacher had each reduced the maintenance bonds following the completion of Mosaic subdivision sidewalks.
The city began the bid process to repair the sidewalks in October, and reviewed 10 different bids for the contract. Cantu said she was happy with how the process had turned out.
“I've been vouching for this community, and I still will be behind you guys watching it, but they did everything correct this time,” Cantu told Mosaic residents at the commission meeting.
ICI Homes, the Mosaic neighborhood builder, will be responsible for the costs of the driveway grade modifications to all driveway aprons. According to Hazen’s bid breakdown, the driveway construction will cost ICI Homes $309,447.
The remainder of the construction work — $757,116 for the sidewalks and $128,073 for the landscaping — will be paid for by Daytona Beach.
Public Works Director David Waller said it will take a few weeks for staff to execute the bid contract the commission approved, but once that is done the Hazen Construction will have 30 days to begin work.
“The contractor is eager to start, so I don't foresee any reason that they won't start in a timely manner,” Waller said. “We expect the work to primarily be done over the summer.”
