THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Amherst has completed its water withdrawal permit and is starting the compliance phase. The manager notes staff are working with WW Associates to design a gaging station at the Buffalo River intake to meet Virginia Water Protection permit conditions, with an engineering contract of $59,500 already approved in June 2026. While the core design work is awarded, there is likely follow-on work for construction, instrumentation, SCADA integration, and long-term monitoring support.
Council approved WW Associates’ engineering fee proposal to satisfy VWP permit requirements and use the existing intake dam as the primary flow measurement element.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Amherst's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
