Dakota County is preparing for 2027 implementation of Minnesota’s African American Family Preservation and Child Welfare Disproportionality Act. Staff anticipate needs for added staffing, technology upgrades, new community service providers, cultural responsiveness training, and concrete supports for families. The July 2026 update outlines potential future service contracts for educational neglect diversion, father engagement, youth advisory, in-home and community-based services, and expanded family decision-making. Service providers, trainers, and data/IT firms should engage now as the county shapes its service array and procurement for culturally responsive child welfare supports.
Pre-RFP
$15,000,000Jul 14, 2026Mendota Heights is advancing a municipal campus project to expand police and city hall space, replace aging HVAC/mechanical systems, and improve security and accessibility. Council authorized consultant ICS to move from schematic design into design development, while the city weighs whether to accept $4 million in state bonding that would trigger MN B3 high-efficiency building requirements. This is an active planning phase where the city must refine design, cost, and sustainability strategy, creating room for architects, engineers, energy, security, and building systems vendors to influence scope and standards before procurement is set.
Pre-RFP
$12,000,000Jul 8, 2026The EDA approved a first amendment to its Purchase and Development (TIF) Agreement with WestSP Development Partners (Greco project) and related lender assignment documents. The closing date to purchase EDA-owned land is extended to August 31, 2026 and Phase I construction must now start by September 30, 2026, with completion still due by December 31, 2028. A $63,000,000 construction loan and a TIF note up to $12,473,000 are structured, signaling a large, financed mixed-use build. This is a prime window for design, construction, tech, and service vendors to engage the private developer and lender team for Phase I packages and future phases.
Contract Award
$75,473,000Jul 13, 2026The City awarded construction for Project 2026-09H (Upper 55th from Blaine to Cahill and 57th from Cahill to Carmen) in a joint bid with South St. Paul and is now approving a construction JPA. Total cost is about $4.66M, with South St. Paul paying roughly $1.1M and Inver Grove Heights using MSAS, assessments, and City funds. A-1 Excavating is the prime, so subcontractors for pavement, utilities, traffic control, and restoration, plus materials suppliers, have active opportunities during construction and for maintenance follow-ons.
Contract Award
$4,663,848Jul 13, 2026Dakota County will amend its existing design contract with Short-Elliott-Hendrickson (SEH) for the Veterans Memorial Greenway trail between Eagan and Inver Grove Heights. The fifth amendment adds $992,000 for extensive Phase 2 (90–95% design) updates, four enhanced memorial nodes, and Phase 3 surveys, soils, layout, and permits, bringing SEH’s total to about $5.3 million. Construction, interpretive fabrication, landscaping, and future memorial build-out remain ahead, so contractors, exhibit fabricators, and specialty park vendors can position around SEH and Parks staff for upcoming phases.
Contract Award
$992,000Jul 14, 2026Empire’s 2027 enterprise fund plan calls for rehabilitating and painting the existing water tower for $650,000 and issuing $8,550,000 in revenue bonds for design, engineering, and construction of a new north end water tower. Bond payments are to be covered by water enterprise revenues, not the tax levy. The city also flags aging lift stations and watermains near a proposed south‑of‑205th residential development that may require unbudgeted replacements, creating near‑term capital project needs.
Budget Planning
$9,200,000Jul 14, 2026The City amended its purchase agreement with Ace in the Hole Limited Partnership, extending the Minnesota Hockey Hall of Fame site closing to Dec 31, 2027 and shifting milestones into 2027. Phase 2 engineering will proceed with DEED grant funding while the developer refines the program, funding stack, and traffic/utility solutions. This is a large, evolving $148M mixed-use sports and events campus with roughly $11.5M in City-funded infrastructure, offering ongoing roles for civil, traffic, utility, and site-development specialists as the project is reshaped.

$148,000,000Jul 13, 2026On July 13, 2026, Council approved a resolution to redeem and prepay the full $6,870,000 outstanding Taxable GO Temporary Tax Increment Financing Refunding Bonds, Series 2026A, on September 2, 2026, using City TIF funds on hand. The bonds originally financed acquisition of property along South Robert Street for redevelopment and future sale to private entities, and early redemption reduces debt service and clears the financing structure. Financial advisors, developers, and redevelopment consultants should view this as a signal that Robert Street parcels are moving toward disposition or projects, opening room for site planning, development proposals, and related professional services.

$6,870,000Jul 13, 2026Apple Valley’s Firefighters Relief Association certified a 2027 municipal contribution of $480,789 to its special fund, tied to state fire aid and actuarial studies. While this is pension‑related, it signals stable fire department funding and ongoing investment in fire operations. This financial health underpins capital projects like the Fire Station One generator replacement and future equipment purchases, giving vendors confidence in the department’s ability to fund upcoming needs.
Budget Planning
$480,789Jul 9, 2026Hempel Real Estate and Galahad Development presented a sketch plan for Founders Circle, an 80‑unit assisted living and memory care facility plus a 2,000 sq ft speculative commercial building at 7030 153rd St W. The concept is an early-stage land use review; use changes, parking, architecture, stormwater, and a development agreement still need formal approval. This is a sizeable new continuum-of-care project that will require full design, engineering, construction, and fit‑out once entitlements are secured.
