From the meeting
At its October 12, 2026 special meeting the Board discussed Moore County's future water supply and how to pay for it, including the Drowning Creek option with the Town of Southern Pines and the Crystal Lake option. Staff said the Drowning Creek option included expanding the Southern Pines water treatment plant from 8 million to 11 million gallons per day in FY28-FY29 and a new intake near Highway 1 projected for FY36-FY37. The Crystal Lake option included property acquisition, excavation, dam work, and a new water treatment plant by FY32.
Staff also noted the Southern Pines allocation was set to expire in FY33 unless renewed. No formal action was taken; the Board's consensus was to proceed with both options and resume negotiations.

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.
When will Moore County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Moore County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Moore County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
