March 23, 2026 City Administrator Update

The City of Hyattsville held a City Administrator Update meeting on March 23, 2026, which included several procurement and project updates. A key focus was the Lower Ward 1 stormwater project, funded by a federal earmark administered through the EPA, totaling just over $1 million with a 20% city match. The city is utilizing existing on-call contracts with contractors such as SMC, Toole, Pennoni, and LIDC for design and construction work. The project is expected to begin construction after May 2026 and complete by November 2026. Additionally, there was an update on the Canvas Apartments parking garage project, where the contractor and equipment are ready, but final approval from the State Highway Administration (SHA) is pending, with hopes to proceed by the end of spring 2026. Other discussions included community engagement programs and upcoming city events, but no additional procurement actions were noted.
