From the meeting
At the Oct. 27, 2026 meeting, council was scheduled to adopt an ordinance starting eminent domain proceedings for easements needed for the new water treatment plant. Staff said 20 of 26 easements had been obtained and six remained outstanding.
The ordinance would move the city into a 120-180 day legal process to secure the land rights needed for construction. This is not a procurement, but it is a clear trigger for right-of-way and legal 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 Derby issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Derby's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
