Mobility Visioning Plan 2050

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) is seeking a consultant to develop the Mobility Visioning Plan 2050, a comprehensive 18-month transportation strategy for Jacksonville and the Northeast Florida region. The procurement will focus initially on the Northwest community, with citywide implications for addressing critical mobility challenges including congestion, inadequate infrastructure, limited public transit, and inefficient land use patterns. Key deliverables include a final report, PowerPoint presentation, GIS features, marketing collateral, and a forward-facing progress dashboard that tracks implementation. The project requires extensive stakeholder engagement, data collection, and analysis to develop policy, program, and infrastructure recommendations across immediate, short-term, medium-term, and long-term timeframes. Proposals are due by 2:00 pm ET on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, and will be evaluated through a best value competitive negotiation process. The RFP emphasizes comprehensive performance monitoring and supports local, regional, and federal plan adoption, with the consultant responsible for developing a transformative mobility strategy for Jacksonville's 850 square miles of diverse communities.

The project has a 30% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation goal, indicating a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. Funding for the project will be explored through multiple sources, including development impact fees, mobility fees, transit and toll revenue, local and state taxes, federal and state grants, and potential public-private partnerships. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears open to qualified consulting firms with expertise in transportation planning, urban development, and community engagement. The total contract value will be determined through the proposal process, with no predetermined budget range explicitly stated in the documentation. The project's initial focus on the Northwest community, particularly in response to a recent community tragedy, suggests a nuanced approach that prioritizes community healing, resilience, and inclusive planning. Prospective respondents should demonstrate capabilities in comprehensive mobility planning, stakeholder engagement, data analysis, and the ability to develop forward-thinking transportation strategies that address complex urban mobility challenges.
