Project Overview
The Altoona Public Works and Parks Facility was a $25 million municipal construction project in Altoona, Iowa, developed to consolidate the City of Altoona's Public Works and Parks departments under a single purpose-built facility. The building encompassed vehicle maintenance bays, shop areas, offices, a lobby and reception area, training and breakroom spaces, restrooms, and dedicated K-9 housing for the police department. Energy performance was a central design consideration, with solar integration under active investigation for the site. The client engaged PRESWERX to support the competitive pursuit with a full suite of proposal, presentation, and visual communication services.
Client Challenges
The client needed to present a technically complex, multi-use municipal facility as a cohesive story to a public agency audience with limited construction context:
Translating a dense building program into a clear, compelling pursuit narrative
Visualizing spaces not yet built for a non-technical owner and evaluation panel
Differentiating the team in a competitive public bid environment
Preparing presenters for a live selection interview with confidence and consistency
Each challenge called for a pursuit strategy built on clarity, visual quality, and confident delivery.
Scope of Work
PRESWERX delivered a comprehensive suite of pursuit materials tailored to the scale and character of a multi-department public works facility. The team produced a fully formatted proposal document that organized the client's qualifications and approach into a clear narrative for the City of Altoona's evaluation panel. Architectural renderings visualized the finished facility across key program areas, giving reviewers a tangible sense of quality and design intent before construction began. Animated walk-throughs and a project film brought the building to life in motion. PRESWERX also coached the client's presenters through structured rehearsals, preparing the team to deliver a polished, confident performance under selection conditions.

Produced renderings and animations that gave the owner visual confidence in the design before construction began
Coached presenters through structured rehearsals to build fluency and consistency under selection conditions
