COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE 10.07.2026

Davenport City Council Committee of the Whole meeting, held October 8, 2026 (the meeting title is dated October 7), considered several public works contracts and purchases. Items moved to the Public Works consent agenda included acceptance of the East 53rd Street Reconstruction Phase 2 work by Langman Construction for $8,662,787.80; acceptance of Duck Creek Golf Course wetland work by Lawns Unlimited for $23,528.51; and a $330,617 contract award to Davenport Electric Contract Company for the Elmore Avenue/East 46th Street traffic signal project. The agenda also included specifications for sewer repairs and the Freight House tuck-pointing project, purchase of dump truck bodies and snowplow equipment, and a $75,000-plus land acquisition for the Second Marquette Street project (the transcript’s exact amount is garbled). These items were placed on consent, but the transcript does not record final approval votes on the underlying actions. The council also considered emergency mold remediation at River’s Edge by LJ Roth, not to exceed $219,928, and a three-year occupational health services contract with Concentra Health Services, with two possible one-year renewals; the Concentra item remained under discussion pending written cost information. A $50,389.87 Guidepoint Security purchase for SharePoint transition support and training was directed to consent, using a GSA multiple-award schedule contract.

The council discussed a proposed regional homelessness and affordable-housing strategy that expresses intent to provide up to $1 million from previously set-aside housing proceeds, subject to a future plan or agreement and further council approval; the resolution remained under discussion for legal review and clarification of funding, oversight, and success measures. Finance items included a proposed five-year lease of city property at 136 East 3rd Street to Rawar LLC, with a public hearing to be set. Other business included a proposed citywide technology-oversight resolution and a public hearing on the Freight House project. No final procurement award or expenditure approval for the items above is clearly recorded in the transcript.
