Pre-RFPInfrastructure & MaintenanceDetected May 26, 2026

03 acres off NW 41st Court. The project includes a 720-foot cul-de-sac extension to be deeded as Street Lot A, extension of an 8-inch Des Moines Water Works main, on-site wastewater systems per lot, a shared stormwater detention basin, and significant woodland protection and grading on steep slopes. The plat has not yet received final approval; following Zoning Commission recommendation and revisions, it must go to the Polk County Board of Supervisors and also obtain City of Ankeny concurrence for both preliminary and final plats.This creates upcoming needs for civil construction, utility installation, alternative septic design, geotechnical and structural engineering for building pads on steep slopes, stormwater facility construction, and ongoing woodland and basin maintenance. Vendors able to support small residential subdivision infrastructure in challenging topography, plus regulatory coordination with Polk County and Des Moines Water Works, will find a near-term opportunity as the project moves from platting to construction documents and build-out.

Des Moines Water Works requires all water mains and stubs be installed prior to paving, and steep-slope and woodland regulations will require licensed geotechnical and structural engineers for certain construction activities.
