From the meeting
During the 2027 draft budget discussion, the council said the city's water system plan update is overdue and talked about getting an updated cost estimate and possibly using reserves to fund the work. No consultant was selected, but the need was clearly identified and tied to future budgeting. This is an early signal for planning, engineering, and utility advisory services, with the next real decision being the scope and funding source.

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.
