The City Council of Oakdale, Minnesota, held a meeting on January 27, 2026, which included several procurement and capital improvement discussions. Key agenda items included the approval of the 2026 street reconstruction project (Project R2026-01) with an estimated cost of $6.6 million, funded through a combination of special assessments ($910,315), city funds, and debt issuance. The council approved the project ordering and assessment resolutions after public hearings. Additionally, the council reviewed and approved a site plan amendment for the expansion and remodeling of the police department and city hall, involving a 44,000 square foot facility with associated parking and landscaping improvements. The project is managed using a construction manager at risk delivery method, with Krauss Anderson as the construction manager. The council authorized the pre-qualification of 52 contractors across seven work scopes for the initial bid package and planned further contractor pre-qualification and bidding activities for subsequent packages. Other procurement-related discussions included amendments to zoning codes affecting allowed uses and building standards, which may impact future development and construction projects. The meeting also featured proclamations and community updates but no additional contract awards or vendor selections were reported.
