AMENDMENT

Rules Committee · 2026-06-01 · agenda_item

The City of Jacksonville Rules Committee is considering an amendment to a community benefits agreement. This amendment would allow for a direct contract with Happy Brew, Inc. using $25,000 from a contingency account. This funding is designated for the period of June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2027. Happy Brew will use these funds to pay the salary of the Program Manager for their Art Force Program. This program is a workforce development initiative for Duval County residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The amendment also seeks to waive a requirement for a competitive bidding process for this contract. This item is currently pending review by the Rules Committee. The work involves funding a specific program manager position for a workforce development program. This early stage means contractors and suppliers should connect with the city or Happy Brew to understand potential future needs related to program support or expansion. Businesses specializing in program management, workforce development, or services for individuals with disabilities could find opportunities.
