From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 work session, the council reviewed a proposed pilot study of Purifics ceramic (silicon carbide) membranes at the Jefferson City Water Plant. The utility department said it had a verbal quote from Bar Environmental because the current polymeric membranes were falling off in production. The report listed $35,000 plus $5,000 freight for a total of $40,000, and asked council to approve $43,000 to cover related costs.
No action was recorded in the packet.

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