From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, the council was scheduled to approve the project manual and cost estimate for the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center RTU Replacement Project and begin bidding. The project generally includes replacement of two roof top units serving the gym, social hall, and upper-level lobby.
This is an equipment replacement opportunity, with the governing body setting the bid process rather than selecting a vendor. The next step is the public bid period.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Iowa issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Iowa's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Iowa before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more equipment government opportunities in Iowa?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces equipment pre-RFPs in Iowa as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
