3) Program 1A
This notice concerns Program 1A projects in Santa Rosa County, which are currently under review and in various stages of development. Projects include the completion of the Pace Library meeting room, with final costs pending invoice review. Several Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) projects are active, and a soccer complex in the Southend, adding competitive fields, is under construction. A turn lane at Edgewood is also under construction. In the Transportation and Drainage sector, most projects are finished, but the Tom King Bayou restoration and West Williams Creek channel restoration are still in the design phase, facing permitting delays. The repair of a pier and the Ranchettes project are also being addressed, with the latter experiencing delays due to FPL issues and being primarily grant-funded. This ongoing work presents opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers. Early engagement before final bids and permits are issued could be advantageous for those in site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, vertical construction, mechanical and finishing trades, and landscaping services.

4) Program 1 B
The Local Option Sales Tax Committee is reviewing projects funded by sales tax. These include improvements to Navarre Park Complex, such as playground and bathroom upgrades, and minor improvements at the Oriole Beach boat ramp. Funds are also allocated for repaving roads throughout the county, with a long list of specific roads identified for this work. Additionally, design is underway for future restrooms and a press box at Para Football fields, and a study is in progress for an Aquatic Center. The committee is also looking into placing a toll on the Navarre Beach Bridge to fund future repairs and expansion, with a study for this being reallocated to design and installation of a gantry system. The renewal of the half-cent sales tax will be on the ballot in November 2026. Contractors for road paving, site preparation, and potentially construction trades for park facilities and the Aquatic Center could find opportunities as these projects move forward. Early engagement is advised as plans and permits are still being developed.
