During the May 18, 2026 meeting, Mayor Fike publicly asked contractors to notify the City if they would like to be added to a notification list for information on future projects and bids. This indicates that Public Works and other departments anticipate additional capital or maintenance projects and want a broader pool of contractors receiving bid notices. The City is effectively reopening and expanding its vendor base ahead of future procurements. For contractors and service firms, this is a direct invitation to get on the City’s radar before formal solicitations are issued, improving visibility for upcoming street, utility, facilities, and parks work. A practical next step would be to contact the Mayor’s office or City Administrator to be added to the list and to ask about anticipated project types and timelines for the next 12–24 months.

This is a broad pre-procurement vendor engagement step; no specific RFPs or RFQs are named yet.
