THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Hood River is awarding a $99,220 contract to FCS for a comprehensive 5‑year utility rate study covering water, sewer, stormwater and a possible transportation utility fee. The work runs through FY2027‑28 to FY2031‑32 and will set rate structures, cost‑of‑service allocations, and funding strategies for capital projects. This is decided work but reveals FCS as the incumbent advisor and a near‑term window for firms in capital planning, project delivery, customer engagement, and billing/AMI to align with upcoming utility changes.
Study budgeted at $125,000 across water, sewer, stormwater and road funds; FCS selected over Raftelis and CWSA.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
