• Companion bill 2026-323

• Funding needed for the Project will be appropriated as part of the FY 26/27 budget
The City of Jacksonville's Finance Committee is reviewing a project that requires funding to be set aside in the FY 26/27 budget. This project is currently under review. The emergency nature of the situation is that construction has already begun, but work within the CSX right of way cannot proceed without an executed agreement. Without this agreement, the City's contractor may have to stop work and remobilize later, leading to extra costs. This situation could involve site preparation, utility work, and potentially road or structure construction depending on the project's full scope. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's needs as it moves through the budget process, as opportunities for bids and contracts will arise once funding is approved and the agreement is finalized.
