What public records show for food service in Alachua County
Past emergency
Alachua County and DR-4834
FEMA declared major disaster DR-4834, hurricane milton, on October 11, 2024 for Alachua County, for an incident that began October 5, 2024. It is one of 14 major disaster declarations covering Alachua County since 2000. Hurricanes bring power loss, flooding, and blocked roads that can shut a commercial kitchen for days. An emergency kitchen trailer and a refrigerated trailer can keep meals going while a permanent kitchen is cleaned, inspected, and repaired.
Major construction
Repair projects around Alachua County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Transmission and Distribution - Poles, Lines, and Transformers Repair/Replace" (utilities, about $5.3 million) in Alachua County after DR-4337, a hurricane declared September 10, 2017; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When work like this reaches Alachua County, a kitchen can lose water or power for a shift or a week, and trucks may need another way in. A facility in Alachua County that loses its utilities during the work could rent a self-contained kitchen trailer for those weeks.
Major renovation
After the damage: buildings in Alachua County
FEMA's Public Assistance program funded "Cedar Key Research Center - 2 Facilities: 1 Building #1851 and 1 Pavilion Damaged" (buildings and equipment, about $385,000) in Alachua County after DR-4828, a hurricane declared September 28, 2024; FEMA lists the project as eligible. When a public building is repaired after a disaster, its kitchen can be out of service for months. A temporary kitchen on site covers meal service at a school, shelter, or government building in Alachua County until the work is done.
Emergency equipment access
Getting equipment to Alachua County
Florida is in FEMA Region 4, which coordinates federal disaster support with the state's emergency management agency; locally, Alachua County emergency management leads response. Those public operations are separate from our rental deliveries. Florida is on the East Coast within reach of our Virginia operations, and projects here are quoted case by case. Equipment for Alachua County would travel I-95 and local routes, as it would for nearby Gainesville and Alachua. We confirm the route and site access with you before dispatch.

Planning scenario · illustrative, not a past project
Renovation plan: a regional jail kitchen in Alachua County
A worked example of how we would plan temporary food service here, using Alachua County's own public records and our current price list. It describes what a facility like this could do, not a job we have done.
1. Situation
A 4-month project at a regional jail kitchen in Alachua County, gutting the kitchen down to the slab and rebuilding it, would leave the building without a usable kitchen from the first day of demolition.2. Trailer setup
A 40ft Bulk Kitchen, 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer, and 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4), set on a level pad close to the facility's power and water connections.3. Site and delivery
Equipment would travel the I-95 corridor, with the final route and gate access confirmed with the facility before dispatch. Setup would take about 5 hours for the kitchen and dishwashing trailers once power and water are ready, and about an hour for the refrigerated unit; stairs add 5–15 minutes.4. Timeline
Book while the renovation is being bid, so delivery lands the week before the kitchen closes. The 4-month lease can be extended by the month if the contractor's schedule slips.5. Estimated rental cost
40ft Bulk Kitchen $10,995 + 38ft High Temp Conveyor Dishwashing Trailer $6,995 + 40ft Refrigerated Container (Tier 1-4) $3,995 = $21,985 per month on our starting price list, or about $87,940 for 4 months. Delivery, setup, and pickup are added in the quote. This is an estimate, not a quote.
