Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal of high-quality infrastructure and facilities.
Summary Brief (Agreements/Contracts only)
1. Prepared by: Renee Hayes, Procurement Manager.
2. Parties: The City of Port St. Lucie and NUE Urban Concepts, LLC.
3. Purpose: The Florida Legislature adopted House Bill 479 (with an effective date of 10/1/2024) that amends Florida Statute 163.3180 related to Concurrency and 163.31801 related to Impact Fees. The amendments to Florida Statute 163.3180 essentially implemented the Mobility Plan and Mobility Fee that the City Council adopted as of October 1, 2021, prior to the mediated settlement with the County.

4. New/Renewal/Modified: New.
5. Duration: Four hundred and fifty-six (456) days, with options for three (3) additional twelve (12) month renewal terms.
