From the meeting
At the August 10, 2026 meeting, the council discussed whether the town or the Port Commission owns the water tower and who must maintain it. Attorney Kirk LaCour cited earlier grant and permit paperwork, while Councilman Dauzat said he would speak with the Port Commission at its next meeting. The commercial signal is follow-on water-service, maintenance, and agreement work tied to an existing utility asset, not a new buy.

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 Simmesport issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Simmesport's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
