The city of Jacksonville is extending its deadline for bids on a contract to provide the city with expertise in planning and preconstruction issues related to potential stadium improvements for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
After the original deadline passed at 2 p.m. Dec. 20, the city reported that bids would be accepted until 2 p.m. Jan. 10 under the extension.
The city Public Affairs Office said at least one bid was submitted by the original deadline, but other firms that were interested in pursuing the contract requested more time to prepare their bids due to the complexity and scope of services in the contract.
