From the meeting
BWD continued discussion of its 2026-27 water rate study (WRS). The board is weighing whether to ask the City of Portland Water Bureau to help co-develop the study, whether the city could take over service, and whether the WRS should forecast rates under city or BWD ownership. The study is still in planning, and the next useful conversation is about who owns the work and how infrastructure and maintenance needs will be framed.

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 Burlington Water District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Burlington Water District'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 Burlington Water District before the RFP is published?
