From the meeting
At its October 5, 2026 meeting, the Economic Development Authority directed Town Manager Sara McGuffin to pursue an alternative water source study and bring options back to the Authority and Town Council. The discussion was tied to how mandatory water conservation conditions could affect future development at Brockman Industrial Park. No vendor was selected yet.
The study is an early planning signal for water supply, development capacity, and long-range utility work.

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 Town of Amherst issue an RFP for this project?
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.
How can vendors engage with Town of Amherst 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.
