From the meeting
81% sewer rate increase for the 2027 budget. The staff report says the utility needs higher revenue to support the capital improvement plan (CIP), which totals $11,341,249 for 2026-2032. Staff also said the full cost of service study would be scheduled for early 2028, creating a clear planning window for utility finance work and future consulting support.

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 City of Ashland issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Ashland'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 City of Ashland before the RFP is published?
