Vendors in architecture, engineering, construction, facility planning, and related services should track this bond program now, as scopes and phasing plans will be refined ahead of and after voter approval.Robbinsdale Public School District · Jul 6, 2026$413,000,000OpportunityThe Board is asked to approve a 5‑Year Road Construction Program and continue the Local Option Sales Tax for transportation.

Bloomington is delivering a $37.2 million modernization of the Bloomington Ice Garden, funded by a DEED grant and local option sales tax. JLG Architects is handling design/engineering and RJM Construction is managing construction, with work in final punch list, electrical, HVAC balancing, and commissioning stages. This establishes clear incumbents for arena systems, building systems, and sustainability features and signals future needs for maintenance, expansion, event programming, and potential EV charging and solar implementation once dates and budgets are set.Contract Award · HRA IN AND FOR THE city OF BLOOMINGTON · Hennepin County · Jul 8, 2026$37,200,000The Transportation Division seeks authorization to order four tandem axle plow trucks, a Freightliner patch truck, Cat loader and excavator, a Larue snowblower, a DM 360 mower, and a John Deere 6130M for 2027 delivery. Total net cost is about $2.7 million, using state and NJPA contracts, with orders placed before August 1, 2026 to avoid 3–6 percent price increases and long lead times. This signals ongoing heavy fleet renewal that can drive needs for upfitting, attachments, telematics, maintenance services, and future replacement planning.Contract Award · Anoka County · Anoka County · Jul 7, 2026$2,725,000Wyoming awarded a $5,739,644 contract for a consolidated City Hall, Police, and Fire facilities improvement project at 26263 Forest Boulevard.
