The 30-second brief
68 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Altoona's meetings, most in information technology and capital projects. The latest, from Oct 20: The council considered approving a contract amendment with TEAM Services for Altoona Fire Station #26 as part of the consent agenda. The minutes do not isolate the item, but the language shows the city was managing an existing fire station project rather than opening a new solicitation. That creates follow-on value around design, construction, or owner-representative support.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Utilities.
1+ open RFP, the next due Nov 10. Latest awards: System Works for altoona Approves System Works Leak Testing Agreement ($5,040.00, Oct 2026) and Team Services for altoona Approves TEAM Services Fire Station Amendment (Oct 2026).
