On October 27, 2026, Engineering presented the 2027-2036 water capital improvement program (CIP). The funded 2027 water CIP totaled $5,900,000 and included repair of the Arkansas River crossing at Knox Street, inspection for transmission line Phase 2A1, and design, property acquisition, and environmental review for transmission line Phase 5 ahead of a federal grant application due in 2027. The urgent needs assessment also listed transmission system, distribution system, tank painting, watershed land purchases, and a lead and copper rule inventory compliance item.
The source said the plans were presented for board approval based on priority and available funding.

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.
