From the meeting
At its October 6, 2026 meeting, the council received an engineer report that the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) draft Intended Use Plan (IUP) put Shafer in the funding range for a potential water treatment plant or new well. The package was described as 50% grant funding with the rest financed by a 30-year low-interest loan, with annual debt service estimated at $100,000 to $120,000. The water treatment plant option would include a new well and abandonment of Wells 1 and 2.
The council was told to select a preferred alternative within the next month so ISG can prepare a scope and engineering proposal.

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 City of Shafer's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
