Project Details

  • Programmed funding: $8,014,449
  • Appropriated funding: $8,014,449
  • Project type: New facility construction/expansion

Description and Scope

This project will fund a 7,500 square foot Mosquito Control facility that will house 75 employees and contain a kitchen, computer room, and laboratory. It will require 50 fleet vehicle spaces and 10 heavy/large equipment spaces.

Purpose and Need

The Public Works Mosquito Control Facility has exceeded its useful service life. The current facility no longer meets the safety, programmatic, or hygienic needs of incumbent staff.

Insufficient restrooms are being supplemented with portables, and the septic system experiences frequent backup and failure from age related degradation and overuse.

Insufficient chemical and laboratory management infrastructure poses a risk to residents and City staff operating Mosquito Control, and inefficiencies caused by facility insecurity negatively impact the program's ability to manage disease-causing mosquito populations in Virginia Beach. 

Proper site management and storage refuse and aggregate material used in the mitigation of mosquito-prone areas is a Stormwater Regulatory requirement. Programs treating low lying areas and water sources in the City for Mosquitoes are regulated by the Commonwealth of Virginia. 

The relocation site has been selected and it is currently a City-owned property. The current facility is unable to support the incumbent Public Works staff.
