AMENDMENT

Finance Committee · 2026-09-15 · agenda_item

The Finance Committee of the City of Jacksonville is reviewing an amendment that would provide $717,482 in funding for Downtown public space projects. The funding would cover the salary and benefits of one full-time project manager within the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department, totaling $154,800. It would also fund a one-year Services Agreement with DVI for $562,682. DVI would be responsible for the procurement, implementation, installation, administration, and minor maintenance of publicly owned fixtures and infrastructure located within Downtown. The item is currently pending review by the Finance Committee, and the funds must be spent by September 30, 2026, or they will lapse. This project would set in motion work related to installing and maintaining public fixtures and infrastructure, which could involve site preparation, electrical work, and general construction. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in these fields could compete for work, and reaching out early, before the agreement is finalized, is the advantage.
