O’Fallon Sets 2026 Public-Works Procurement Milestones

O’Fallon’s Public Works Department has issued a qualifications request for a 2026 public-works project, laying out a schedule that could move the effort from consultant selection toward implementation. The schedule called for qualifications submissions by May 19, 2026.

Under the published timeline, the city planned to negotiate the project’s scope and price with the selected engineering-services provider from May 25 through June 15. The engineering-services selection was then scheduled for submission to the O’Fallon City Council for approval on July 9.

Next step

The schedule lists July 30 as the anticipated date for the city to issue a notice to proceed. That notice would mark the next planned transition in the procurement process, but the document describes all dates as approximate. The timeline therefore outlines planned steps rather than confirming that council approval or the notice to proceed has occurred.

The procurement document does not identify the project by name or name the selected engineering firm. It does establish that the city’s Public Works Department is coordinating the process and that City Council approval is part of the planned path before implementation.
