Waterloo Police’s July 6, 2026 work session includes discussion of an Axon software contract and an internal Axon 10‑year procurement analysis. The materials compare staying on the current Axon program versus a rewritten Officer Safety Plan 10 Premium bundle with drones, ALPR, Fusus, Dedrone, and expanded cloud services totaling about $6.6M over 10 years. Axon is incumbent, but council direction is still pending, creating a window for competitors and integrators to engage on cost, capabilities, and implementation support.
Pre-RFP
$6,609,299Jul 6, 2026On June 2, 2026, the Waterloo City Council approved the sale of $1,700,000 Taxable General Obligation Bonds Series 2026C, following a competitive process where sealed and electronic bids were opened at 11:00 a.m. and the best bid was recommended by Speer Financial. The council resolution directs the sale, approves the sale documents, and authorizes the Mayor and Clerk to execute the contract for the bonds. Because these bonds are taxable, they are often used for projects that do not qualify for tax-exempt financing, such as certain economic development or revenue-generating initiatives, though the document does not specify the end uses. Vendors involved in development, public-private projects, or specialized capital improvements should view this as a forward signal that the city will be advancing taxable-bond-eligible projects, likely bringing related consulting, construction, and support contracts to market.
Budget Planning
$1,700,000Jun 2, 2026On June 2, 2026, the Waterloo City Council approved a resolution to enter into a $3,500,000 Sewer Revenue Capital Loan Notes Series 2026A loan agreement, following a proposal review facilitated by Speer Financial. The resolution authorizes the Mayor and City Clerk to finalize terms and execute the loan agreement with the selected financial institution. While the document does not specify projects, sewer revenue financing typically supports sewer system upgrades, treatment plant work, or related infrastructure that can drive engineering, construction, and professional services procurements. Vendors in utilities, civil engineering, and construction should track this new funding as it signals that capital sewer projects and related contracts will be scoped and let in upcoming fiscal cycles.
Budget Planning
$3,500,000Jun 2, 2026The council approved a Construction-Related Services Agreement with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. of Waterloo, Iowa, for 385,800 in conjunction with the project to rehabilitate Runway 18/36 outside of the Runway 12/30 safety area, under FAA AIP Project No. 3-19-0094-060. This agreement designates AECOM to provide construction-related services, likely including construction administration, inspection, and coordination for the federally funded airfield rehabilitation. With AECOM as the engineering/construction services incumbent, the city will still need contractors and materials suppliers to perform the actual runway rehabilitation work. Airfield paving contractors, electrical/signage firms, and safety systems vendors should monitor this FAA AIP project as it moves into construction bidding, aligning with AECOM and airport staff to understand schedule, phasing, and qualification requirements.
Contract Award
$385,800Jun 1, 2026Waterloo Fire Rescue presented a July 6, 2026 work session proposal to adopt the First Due public safety software ecosystem and expand its ITM compliance program. The quote shows a $89,775 annual subscription plus $11,850 implementation, with phased rollout starting in fall 2026 and a January 2027 fire‑side go‑live, while ESO ePCR is kept short‑term. Council approval is still pending, so this is an active planning stage where other RMS/ePCR vendors, integrators, and implementation partners can still influence scope, migration strategy, and funding structure.
Pre-RFP
$101,625Jul 6, 2026Waterloo is accepting an acquisition contract and deed from D and C Management, LC for partial property and a temporary easement at 2133-2159 Fairway Lane, paying $18,000 in support of the Fairway Lane Reconstruction Project. This is a step toward a larger street reconstruction effort rather than the construction award itself. Engineering and construction firms can track this as a sign that Fairway Lane reconstruction is moving closer to design completion and future bid letting if not already awarded.
Pre-RFP
$18,000Jul 6, 2026The city approved $87,234.47 plus shipping for 16 concourse players and installation at the Convention Center, then amended the project to add 10 new LCD displays with HDMI inputs. Daktronics is supplying the hardware via a Sourcewell cooperative contract, and the work will shift signage control to a cloud‑based suite. The award is set, but this highlights an active AV/digital signage modernization effort funded by hotel/motel tax, which may lead to future AV, content, and networking needs.
Contract Award
$87,234Jul 6, 2026Resolution #24,664 records that the council received bids and accepted the low bid of Owen Contracting, Inc. for the 2026 Sidewalk Assessment Project – Zone 8, in the amount of 146,819.50. This confirms that Owen Contracting has been selected as the construction contractor for this year’s assessment-based sidewalk improvements in Zone 8. Although this specific contract is awarded, the project signals Cedar Falls’ ongoing programmatic investment in sidewalk assessment and repair by zone. Vendors can use this to gauge size and cadence of future sidewalk packages and consider positioning for subsequent zones, or offer complementary services such as concrete materials, traffic control, and accessibility consulting for future annual cycles.
Contract Award
$146,819Jun 15, 2026Black Hawk County is approving an agreement with Splunk LLC of Somerset, NJ to provide a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform. The platform will log, centralize, analyze, and monitor security data for the county over a three-year term from July 1, 2026 through May 24, 2029 at an annual cost of 24963. This action cements Splunk as the county’s SIEM provider and reflects a significant cybersecurity investment managed by the IT Director. While the primary selection is complete, there is potential for follow-on work around implementation, tuning, integrations, managed security services, and eventual renewal or replacement planning before the contract ends in 2029.
Contract Award
$74,889Jun 23, 2026The board approved a renewal with Jester Insurance for equipment maintenance insurance totaling $115,840. This confirms Jester as the current insurance provider for district equipment. Insurance, risk management, and asset protection firms can note the incumbent and approximate annual spend to time future outreach around coverage reviews or alternative proposals before the next renewal.
