AMENDMENT
The City of Jacksonville is planning to add funding to an existing project for the production and installation of at least 12 health education signs. These signs will be placed along approximately 2 miles of new sidewalks on Old Kings Road from Plummer Road to Acree Road, and along approximately 0.50 miles of new sidewalks on Dunn Avenue/Harrell Street from Old Kings Road to New Kings Road. The Florida Department of Health will design the signage, which will educate pedestrians on the benefits of exercise and health. The City will be responsible for replacing any damaged signs for at least 10 years. This item is currently under review. The project will involve site preparation for sign installation, potentially including minor concrete work for bases, followed by the installation of the signs themselves. Contractors specializing in signage, concrete work, and general construction could find opportunities. Reaching out to the City early could provide an advantage before specific bids and permits are finalized.

The amendment would shift the responsibility for leasing at least 72 golf carts from the City to the tenant. The tenant would have the right to deduct the cost of these golf cart leases from their monthly rent. The Department of Parks, Recreation & Community Services would oversee the lease. This ordinance is currently pending and has been introduced to the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The public hearing is scheduled for September 8, 2026. This early stage in the process means that contractors, suppliers, and service providers for golf cart leasing, maintenance, or related services could engage with Jax Golf Management, LLC or the City to understand future needs before final agreements and permits are in place.

This item concerns a proposed amendment to the Jacksonville Traffic Code, specifically Chapter 804, Part 1 and Part 9. The amendment aims to define 'Electric Bicycles' in line with state law and establish clear operating rules. These rules include a 10 MPH speed limit on sidewalks, age restrictions for riders, mandatory helmet use for younger riders, and prohibitions against unsafe operation. Violations would be classified as a Class C offense. This item is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. While this is a regulatory change and not a construction project, it may lead to future needs for related services. Businesses involved in traffic safety, legal services, or potentially educational outreach regarding these new regulations could find opportunities. Early awareness of this pending change allows for proactive engagement as the code is finalized.

AMENDMENT
This item concerns proposed amendments to a Redevelopment Agreement (RDA) related to a hotel development. The amendments aim to clarify cost disbursement agreements between the City and the Developer, or an affiliate. Key changes include addressing substantial completion of hotel improvements if a lender forecloses, defining events of default under the RDA, and specifying that defaults in separate cost disbursement agreements for marina, bulkhead, pier, and riverwalk improvements will not trigger an event of default under the main RDA. This matter is currently pending review by the Neighborhoods, Community Services, Public Health and Safety Committee. The project would involve potential construction and renovation work related to the hotel, marina, bulkhead, pier, and riverwalk improvements. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, engineering, and related fields should monitor this item's progress. Early engagement before final plans and permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
