Consulting Services for Downtown Overlay Zone and Downtown District Use

The Downtown Investment Authority in Jacksonville, Florida is seeking consulting services to update its downtown overlay zone and downtown district use regulations to improve clarity, consistency, and usability. The agency requires a simplified, visually oriented Design Guidelines companion document that translates regulatory requirements into clear, user-friendly visual guidance without establishing new policy. To support these updates, the selected consultant must document and summarize stakeholder feedback in a format that integrates directly into the ordinance revisions and the new guidelines. The scope of work includes coordination with the parks department and other relevant stakeholders to inform how development interfaces with the Riverwalk Park Design Criteria and to ensure consistent application for riverfront conditions. The agency requires the selected vendor to perform all work offsite at the vendor's own office location. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to submit proposals for this opportunity. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 2, 2026.
