The 30-second brief
90 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in The Metropolitan District's meetings, most in capital projects and infrastructure & maintenance. The latest, from Oct 26: On October 21, 2026 Commissioner Andrew Adil renewed a request for an independent cost audit of the Water Meter Pit Program. He asked for $25,000 in the 2027 budget and said the review should compare staff and contractor unit costs, installation history, funding sources, and the no-access inventory. The Board had not yet voted on the audit, so this is a pre-RFP consulting lead tied to a defined scope.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Environmental Services.
