From the meeting
At the October 27, 2026 meeting, staff proposed the 2027 galvanized water service line replacement project using $545,000 on the 2027 Intended Use Plan. Bolton & Menk's proposal covered design, right-of-entry work, bidding, and construction services for the 2027 reconstruction project areas, including Haines Addition and Lynnwood/Edgewood/Brentwood. The packet said the work would replace 29 galvanized or unknown water services and that the combined 2026 change orders and the new 2027 project would replace 85 services in 2027.
Staff asked to authorize the Bolton & Menk agreement for $75,000 and to use about $70,000 of remaining 2026 contract budget to start contacting property owners.

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