Cedar Falls is creating the Wild Horse Ridge 7th Urban Renewal Area to support the next phase of a long-running residential subdivision. Midwest Development Co. will install about $2.1 million of streets and utilities for 32 single-family lots and a 2.25-acre park, with the City planning to reimburse up to 60% of public infrastructure costs via TIF rebates capped near $1.84 million. This opens near-term demand for engineering, site/civil work, utilities, park design, and housing construction as the development agreement is finalized and lots build out.

Pre-RFP
$2,114,000Jul 22, 2026

Cedar Falls plans the Greenhill Village Commons Urban Renewal Area to support a new 16-lot residential subdivision along Loren Drive. Big Hand Pepper, LLC will build about $1.25 million of public streets and utilities, with the City reimbursing up to 50% of those costs via TIF rebates capped around $792,000 and expecting workforce or affordable housing participation. With infrastructure completion targeted by the end of 2026, there will be upcoming needs for site and utility construction, housing construction, and potential affordable/workforce housing partnerships.

Pre-RFP
$1,250,000Jul 22, 2026

After receiving two bids for the WRF Phosphorus Recovery Facility, with the low bid of $86,674,400 from Rice Lake Construction Group coming in 45% over the revised estimate, the WRA is now rejecting all bids. Staff and HDR evaluated multiple options, including splitting the project, using CMAR, or changing how future phosphorus limits are addressed, and will update comparisons for the Technical Committee. This is a major process project back in planning, creating a strong opening for value engineering, alternative delivery, and phosphorus management solutions.

Pre-RFP
$86,674,400Jul 21, 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

Dallas County reviewed the 100% design development budget and scope for major renovations at 100 Nile Kinnick Dr N and 210 N 10th Street for the Auditor’s operations. Turner Construction, as CM-at-Risk, estimates about $3.3 million in project costs with alternates for brick veneer, high‑density storage, dry-chem fire suppression, generator relocation, and a new early voting vestibule. Bid documents are planned for mid‑September 2026 with field work starting January 2027 and lasting about nine months, so subcontractors, specialty trades, FF&E, low-voltage, and life-safety vendors should track upcoming bid packages through Turner and the county.

Pre-RFP
$3,307,996Jul 14, 2026

Derby is considering Industrial Revenue Bonds and a 10‑year 60% property tax abatement plus 100% sales tax exemption on materials for the 144‑unit Stone Creek Residences affordable housing project, a $26.3M investment. Council is asked July 14, 2026 to adopt a resolution of intent and direct staff to negotiate a detailed PILOT/performance agreement covering amenities, buffering, reporting, and safety requirements. This opens a long runway for housing, planning, legal, engineering, and owner’s‑rep vendors to shape terms, future phases, and compliance reporting tools.

Pre-RFP
$26,335,000Jul 14, 2026

Greater Dubuque Development briefed the Board on a currently paused hyperscale data center project, noting a developer is evaluating multiple Midwest sites and no formal application has been filed due to a county moratorium. An economic impact study modeled a conservative $12 billion capital investment, 400 direct permanent jobs at $100,000+, and major tax and construction impacts if a project proceeds. This is an early‑stage siting competition where utilities, site selectors, engineering firms, and large‑scale IT infrastructure vendors can help make Dubuque’s framework attractive to eventual developers.

Pre-RFP
$12,000,000,000Jul 13, 2026

The City is approving the Administrator to move forward with the T-hangar taxilanes project at Oelwein Municipal Airport under FAA AIP 3-19-0067-016, with a total cost of $1,005,056.90 and multi-year FAA funding. Design and construction oversight are shown with AECOM, and a lowest bid of $762,956.90 has been identified, but council action focuses on financial timing and use of entitlements. This signals a significant airfield paving and taxilane rehab effort where construction contractors, paving suppliers, and airport services firms can track follow-on phases, maintenance, and related airport capital work over FY 2026-2028.

Pre-RFP
$1,005,056Jul 13, 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

The committee received a financial update confirming the district can move forward with an approximately $25 million expansion of Eleanor Roosevelt Middle School. Advisors recommend using $10 million in SAVE bonds and reserves to manage borrowing and preserve future capacity. Invision Architects are gathering user input and are expected to bring preliminary design proposals in August. This is early-stage planning for a large capital project, so construction, engineering, and related services vendors should track design approval and funding decisions and begin positioning for upcoming work.
