From the meeting
The MELS Project was used to replace aging water infrastructure and address water-service requirements associated with Michigan's Lead and Copper Rule. The city linked this utility work to a Water-Related Infrastructure grant, USDA financing, MDOT funding, bond proceeds, and local match dollars. This is a compliance-driven utility replacement program that can lead to more distribution, meter, and service-line work as closeout ends.

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