From the meeting

During preliminary budget discussion, Lisa Liden said another rate study should be done for water and sewer rates because projected 2026 revenue showed the water fund would lose money. She also said calcium chloride charges may need to be reevaluated and potentially raised. No consultant was selected, but the need is explicit and tied to utility financial planning.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Fertile's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
