Project
Four ice vending machine sites in Florida
MES has sent out site and utility plan sets for three Florida ice vending machine sites since July 2025, each within two weeks, and is designing a water service for a fourth.
About the project
The problem
An ice vending machine operator needed civil plans for four of its machine sites in Florida, including Freeport, Fort Myers and Jacksonville.
Three of the sites needed a site and utility plan set.
The Jacksonville machine sits in the parking lot of a host property and runs on a shallow well. The operator wants a potable water service from the local utility so the well can be disabled.
The pathway
For each of the first three sites, MES drew a plan set with a cover sheet, a survey sheet, a site plan and a utility plan.
The Freeport set also carried a demolition sheet. MES later wrote a drainage letter for that site.
The third set showed two utility options.
Each set was reviewed and revised before it went out.
For Jacksonville, the scope is a water service plan signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed Professional Engineer. It shows the point of connection to the utility's water main, the meter and backflow prevention assembly, and the service line from the meter to the machine along the drive aisle. It also notes that the existing well supply is to be disconnected at the machine.
MES will submit the plan to the utility and answer its review questions.
The result
Three plan sets have gone out. Each went out within two weeks of the first hour logged on it: Freeport in July 2025, Fort Myers in November 2025 and the third site in July 2026.
The Jacksonville water service plan is in design now.
The operator has brought MES four sites since July 2025.
- Machine sites on record
- 4
- Florida sites
- All four, including Freeport, Fort Myers and Jacksonville
- Plan sets sent out
- 3, each within two weeks of the first logged hour
- Plan sheets
- Cover, survey, site plan, utility plan
- Estimated demand, Jacksonville machine
- 200 gallons per day (2023 utility form)
