From the meeting
At the October 20, 2026 meeting, council discussed utility rate study quotes for water and sewer rates. Staff had received two quotes, including $29,500 from the Oregon Association of Water Utilities and $18,500 from Civil West Engineering (now merged with Verdantas). The work was still being shaped, with additional quotes sought and a 6-month implementation timeline noted once a firm is selected.
Decision state: discussed, with selection still open.

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