Construction of a new 95,000 square foot police station, including office, garage, and training range.

Pre-RFP
$60,000,000Aug 4, 2026

Fehr Graham presented plans to use a USDA federal earmark for Belle Plaine water infrastructure. Council chose a $7.9 million Package 2: new standpipe, well house power upgrades, a new well #7, and possible water main upgrades. Design and financing plans are in place but no construction contractors or equipment vendors are named yet. This is a major multi-component project where civil, mechanical, electrical, and water-system vendors can help shape specs and implementation as the city moves toward procurement.

Pre-RFP
$7,901,800Jul 15, 2026

Marion’s Willowood Park Pool, built in 1987, has reached the end of its design life, with multiple systems rated poor to very poor. The July 2026 conditions assessment outlines two high-level options: long-term corrections to extend life through major reconstruction of basins, piping, deck, filtration, lighting, buildings, and splashpad, or full replacement with a new aquatic configuration. No procurement or vendor has been selected yet, so the city is in planning mode and will brief City Council on options. Aquatic design, engineering, construction, and pool equipment vendors can help shape scope, phasing, and cost strategies for either a major renovation or full replacement.

Pre-RFP
$7,000,000Jul 13, 2026

Pella is adopting the Imagine More Community Urban Renewal Plan with TIF to redevelop portions of Central College’s campus into up to 1,350 rental units and 120,000 sq ft of commercial space, supported by about $22.3 million in public infrastructure. The plan anticipates roughly $345 million in private investment and up to $25 million in future economic development incentives, but no developers or projects are chosen yet. This is early-stage positioning time for planners, engineers, developers, housing partners, and infrastructure firms that can shape projects, secure incentives, and structure deals over a 20-year buildout.

Pre-RFP
$345,000,000Jul 7, 2026

Ames awarded Niagara Power Transformer a $1,756,932 contract to provide a transformer for Mortensen Substation improvements. The equipment vendor is chosen, reflecting a defined substation upgrade program. While the transformer purchase is decided, construction contractors and relay/controls integrators can watch for installation and commissioning work related to this substation project.

Contract Award

Ames approved a contract and bond with Watts Electric Company for reconstruction of the 69kV transmission line from Top O Hollow Substation to Ames Plant Substation, in the amount of $3,356,570.41. This is a major electric transmission capital project now moving into construction. Subcontractors, materials suppliers, and specialty crews supporting high-voltage line work may still find teaming opportunities with Watts or related follow-on work.

Contract Award
$3,356,570Jul 14, 2026

The city is approving a purchase and grant agreement to convey 1102 Hollywood Blvd to Iowa City Affordable Housing, Inc. (ICAH) for long-term affordable housing. ICAH will own and operate the property using HUD-VASH project-based vouchers for homeless veteran households under a 20-year compliance period. This creates a multi-year affordable housing asset that will need property management, maintenance, supportive services coordination, and potential capital improvements over time.

Contract Award
$2,000,000Jul 14, 2026

The city awarded the N Dodge Street and ACT Circle Intersection Improvements Project to Streb Construction Co., Inc. after receiving four bids, with the winning bid at $3,190,955 near the $3.2 million estimate. Construction will now proceed on this major intersection upgrade. Heavy civil and traffic engineering vendors should note Streb as the incumbent and watch for related corridor, signal, and roadway work that may follow.

Contract Award
$3,190,955Jul 14, 2026

Orleans is nearing completion of the 140th Street & Utility Improvements Phase 1, with Pay Application No. 12 to Beck Excavating approved for $331,834.74. The current contract stands at about $4.59 million, with roughly $221,000 left including retainage, indicating close-out is approaching. Construction, engineering, inspection, restoration, and future Phase 2 or adjacent work are likely follow-ons where contractors, materials suppliers, and service providers can engage the city or the incumbent team.

Contract Award
$4,589,888Jul 13, 2026

The City approved a detailed Development Agreement with WDM Entertainment, LLC and WDM South, LLC for The Grand Experience, locking in up to $105.5M in TIF rebates over 23 years.
