The 30-second brief
33 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Afton's meetings, most in public safety and transportation. The latest, from Oct 26: At the October 26, 2026 work session, staff asked for council direction on safety changes for bollards on the Pike Street Trail after two cyclists were injured. The city engineer recommended either adding reflective tape or paint, or removing the bollards and installing NO MOTOR VEHICLES signs. No decision was recorded in the packet, so this is a public update and maintenance/safety signal rather than an award. A vendor could still watch for sign, striping, or trail-safety follow-on work if council directs action.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Parks & Recreation.
Latest awards: Blondo Consulting (Oct 2026) and Quality Sign Solutions for quality Sign Solutions Prepares Industrial Building Signage (Oct 2026).
