From the meeting
The council retroactively approved an emergency contract with MDI Contracting, LLC for directional boring 300 feet of 16-inch HDPE waterline under South Illinois Avenue. The work was capped at $120,000 and was chosen because a conventional repair would have caused major traffic disruption and likely more future leaks in the old cast iron line. The city said the leak was discovered in September 2026 and that this fix could support a future replacement project.
This is useful follow-on intelligence for waterline work and any remaining restoration needs.

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 Oak Ridge's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
