From the meeting
The city manager reported that the city is starting design of a new PFAS treatment facility off Griffin Road and needs added sewer capacity along Borthwick Avenue. Staff said the upgrade will also support housing and commercial development and fix an undesirable sewer configuration outside the roadway. The city said it intends to pay with existing capital monies from the Water and Sewer Enterprise Funds, so the next seller conversation is likely about design and utility construction.

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