From the meeting
At the September 14, 2026 finance committee update, the city reported that the water main replacement is on hold until next spring. The same update noted a possible budget study session in October and that utility rate increases may need review because of inflation and the flood. This points to a future capital and funding decision, not a completed purchase.

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.
