The 30-second brief
86 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Ashland's meetings, most in utilities and capital projects. The latest, from Oct 13: At its October 13, 2026 committee meeting, the council reviewed the sewer rate study and proposed rate adjustments. Staff recommended a one-time 4.81% increase for the 2027 budget and to schedule a full cost of service study (COSS) for early 2028. The packet says the sewer utility needs more revenue to support the capital improvement plan (CIP) and long-term cash flow. Ehlers was the study consultant, so this is a useful follow-on for rate, study, and utility finance work.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Grants.
