THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The proposed FY27 wastewater budget raises total expenses to $1,022,901, increasing O&M by $33,738 while keeping debt service stable. Sewer rates are set at $12.97 per 100 cu. ft., and a shortfall of $118,601 is projected. Plant operations, maintenance, and consulting vendors can help the city manage higher costs, optimize assets, and plan capital work that fits within the new rate structure.
Olver Associates operates the Pollution Control Facility; budget changes may affect contract scope or additional services.

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 Calais's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Calais before the RFP is published?
