On June 25, 2026, the Dodge City Commission held a public hearing and approved Ordinance 3844 amending the STAR Bond Heritage Area Project Plan, authorizing up to $20.87 million in STAR bond financing within a $61.1 million redevelopment program. The amended plan covers multiple destination tourism components including a 50–55 room Hilton Outset Collection boutique hotel, a 12,000 sq. ft. Western Kansas Motorsports Museum, projection mapping at Boot Hill Museum and a new hotel, Trail of Fame medallions and Wyatt Earp Gateway, plus extensive streetscape, trails, landscaping, public art, and facade and balcony restoration on Front Street. The ordinance expresses the City’s intent to issue STAR bonds and reimburse eligible project expenditures, but individual design, construction, technology, and operating contracts for these components are not yet specified in this document. This creates a near-term pipeline of separate procurements for hospitality, museum exhibit design, AV/projection systems, civil and streetscape construction, historic restoration, wayfinding, and public art over the life of the project. Vendors can position early with the City Manager’s office and the STAR bond legal/finance team as the City sequences projects and defines scopes, phasing, and public-private partnership structures with private capital and community partners. Consulting support around project management, tourism planning, financial structuring, and compliance with Kansas STAR bond and federal reimbursement regulations may also be needed as they move from plan approval to implementation.
Pre-RFP
$61,107,375Jun 25, 2026The City of Dodge City is holding a June 25, 2026 public hearing on a proposed amendment to its STAR Bond Project Plan for the Heritage District, outlining $61.1 million in new attractions, hospitality investments, and downtown improvements. Major components include a 50–55 room Hilton Outset Collection boutique hotel, a 12,000 sq. ft. Western Kansas Motorsports Museum, projection mapping at Boot Hill Museum plus a new hotel, Trail of Fame medallions and the Wyatt Earp Gateway, extensive streetscape/trails/landscaping/public art work, and historic facade and balcony restorations on Front Street. The amendment seeks $20.87 million in STAR Bond-eligible funding, with the balance from private capital and community partners, and feasibility findings show strong visitation and revenue projections. At the conclusion of the hearing, the City Commission will consider an ordinance approving the amended project plan, but individual design, construction, technology, exhibit, and operations contracts are not yet detailed in this document. This creates a multi-year set of opportunities for architects, engineers, contractors, museum and attraction designers, AV/projection mapping vendors, hotel development and management firms, landscape and public art providers, and tourism consultants to position for upcoming procurements tied to the STAR Bond-funded phase. Sellers should focus on helping the City and its partners shape scopes, phasing, and implementation strategies that fit STAR Bond requirements and the Western heritage tourism brand.
Pre-RFP
$61,107,375Jun 25, 2026The commission approved a proposal from UCI to address the Anaerobic #4 Failure for pipe work and increased labor costs, in an amount not to exceed 1000000. This points to a significant unplanned repair or rehabilitation project at a wastewater treatment facility component, focused on anaerobic system piping and labor-intensive work. Because the city has already selected UCI and capped the project cost, the primary construction work is decided, but the scale suggests extended activity and potential related needs. Vendors providing wastewater process engineering, inspection, SCADA/monitoring, structural rehabilitation, or future capital upgrades could position follow-on services to help the city mitigate future failures and modernize this part of the plant once immediate repairs are complete.
Contract Award
$1,000,000Jun 1, 2026The commission approved a proposal from Glassman Corporation for 553673, with contingency for a total project cost of 636723.95, to repair the Four Bowl rooftop HVAC at the United Wireless Arena. This is a substantial mechanical system project at a major city venue, addressing rooftop HVAC units over multiple bowls of the facility. With Glassman Corporation selected, the primary HVAC repair contract is set, but the project size and contingency suggest complex work and possible future phases or controls optimization. Vendors in building automation, energy management, commissioning, and maintenance contracts can use this as a signal to offer ongoing service, system tuning, and lifecycle planning once the repairs are completed.
Contract Award
$636,724Jun 1, 2026The commission approved the US 400 and US 283 Traffic Impact Study and Preliminary Design Letter Agreement with Olson Inc. in the amount of 132322. This engagement covers both a traffic impact analysis and preliminary design work at a key highway junction, likely informing future capital improvements or safety projects. Olson Inc. is now the consultant of record for this study phase, so the immediate professional services opportunity is decided. However, their work will generate recommendations that may lead to multi-million-dollar construction, signalization, or roadway modifications, opening future prospects for engineering, construction, ITS, and materials vendors once the city moves from preliminary design to implementation.
Contract Award
$132,322Jun 1, 2026The commission approved a bid from Side Restorations for 121311 for repainting the exterior of the slides at the Long Branch Lagoon, along with an optional protection plan. This project focuses on aesthetic and protective refurbishment of water park slide structures, potentially extending their lifespan and improving appearance for patrons. Side Restorations is the chosen contractor, but the adoption of a protection plan indicates the city’s interest in proactive asset care at its aquatic facilities. Vendors that offer specialty coatings, inspection, structural repairs, and maintenance planning for parks and recreation assets can leverage this signal to propose ongoing services and similar work at other facilities.
Contract Award
$121,311Jun 1, 2026The commission approved a bid from Diamond Roofing for 26540 to perform awning cover repairs at Legends Ball Park. This is a modest but targeted repair project aimed at maintaining spectator or facility shading structures at a sports venue. With Diamond Roofing as the selected contractor, the immediate awning repair work is decided, but it highlights ongoing maintenance investment in ballpark infrastructure. Vendors providing sports facility improvements, lighting, seating, or additional roofing and shade structures can position complementary or future-phase projects to build on this maintenance effort.
Contract Award
$26,540Jun 1, 2026The commission approved a $54,684.68 quote from J Dubs Welding for additional handrail fabrication on northbound Fourteenth Avenue. This locks in the fabricator for the current safety improvement scope. While the primary award is decided, related opportunities may exist for coating, installation support, inspection, or future corridor safety upgrades along Fourteenth Avenue.
