The City of Mahtomedi is moving forward with rehabilitation of two mid‑1990s sanitary sewer lift stations, one at the cul‑de‑sac on Wedgewood Drive and one on Warner Drive near 72nd Street, as part of its 2027 Capital Improvement Plan. A memorandum dated June 10, 2026 recommends approving WSB’s proposal to provide professional engineering design, bidding, and construction services, including replacement of pumps, piping, valves, concrete components, and alarm system upgrades, for a not‑to‑exceed fee of $89,411, with Barr Engineering subcontracted for electrical design. This positions WSB as the design and construction‑phase services consultant for a 2027 construction project, with design scheduled for July–October 2026, bidding in late 2026 to early 2027, and construction from spring through fall 2027. While the consulting contract is effectively decided, the underlying rehabilitation work will generate construction, electrical, controls, bypass pumping, material testing, and SCADA/alarm system needs that contractors and suppliers can target through the upcoming bid package WSB will prepare.
Work is funded under the City’s 2027 Capital Improvement Plan and focuses on two named sanitary sewe...

The Westminster Conservation Commission agenda lists a continued Notice of Intent hearing for 0 & 88 State Road West (Depres) covering four townhouse apartment buildings totaling 32 units. This indicates an active private development proposal that must secure local environmental approvals before proceeding to detailed design and construction procurement. While the agenda does not name municipal funding, a 32‑unit townhouse project will create demand for civil and environmental engineering, site work, utilities, stormwater systems, landscaping, and potentially traffic and infrastructure improvements tied to conservation conditions. Vendors that support developers or municipalities with permitting, mitigation design, and construction-phase compliance could engage with the proponent or town staff as the project conditions are shaped.
Project is at the environmental permitting stage via Notice of Intent; conservation conditions may d...
Within the Operations & Maintenance capital budget, the district references a DCS Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Replacement Project at the Randall‑Bold Water Treatment Plant that has been delayed in FY27 and then ramps up again in FY28, with total Randall‑Bold WTP Improvements spend of about $11.8M over the biennium. The existing DCS/PLC infrastructure is being modernized, but the project has been paused to adjust scope and confirm contracting approach, suggesting design and some vendor choices may already be in place. This indicates the primary control‑system upgrade decision is largely made, but there may still be room for follow‑on integration, cybersecurity hardening, HMI upgrades, training, and lifecycle support as the revised project restarts in FY28. Vendors that partner with the likely PLC/control incumbent or provide complementary services could target add‑ons and support rather than the core award.
Randall‑Bold is a joint facility; partners share costs, which can make standardized control platform...
Contra Costa Water District’s FY27–FY28 proposed budget commits $32.6M over two years, and a total program estimate of about $2.75B, to replace the aging 48‑mile Contra Costa Canal with an enclosed pipeline. In FY27–FY28 they plan to complete a Preliminary Design Report, 30% pipe and stormwater design, a finance plan by October 2027, and a programmatic EIR by late 2028, while also reviewing statutory authority and procurement policy for potential ‘collaborative project delivery.’ No implementation contractor or delivery model has been selected yet; current work is focused on planning, environmental clearance, permitting, financing and communications. This is a major long‑horizon capital program where the district is still shaping scope, funding strategy, risk allocation, and delivery approach. Vendors in engineering, program management, collaborative delivery (CMAR, progressive design‑build), tunneling/pipeline construction, communications, and financing advisory can engage now to influence standards, packaging, and procurement strategy.
They are explicitly considering changes to procurement policy to allow collaborative delivery, and a...
