What North Dakota agencies are planning

Upcoming projects, grants and hiring found in council minutes and budget hearings, before the solicitation.

OpportunityNorth Dakota’s Department of Water Resources is reworking its Cost‑Share Program because projected project demand of about $3.8 billion through 2039 exceeds expected revenues by roughly $1.3 billion. Deloitte was hired to study the model, and basin meetings in summer 2026 will vet draft policy changes, with final modifications expected by December 2026 for the 2027–2029 budget cycle. This opens a window for water project sponsors and financial/consulting vendors to shape affordability rules, prioritization, and alternative financing structures for large infrastructure projects.Mclean-Sheridan Rural Water · Jul 1, 2026$3,800,000,000OpportunityThe board approved revisions to the Eastern North Dakota Alternate Water Supply (ENDAWS) work plan, expanding the 2025-2027 RRVWSP biennium budget to $423 million and adding three major construction packages for intake, tunnel, shaft liner, and 16 miles of pipeline. The revisions are driven by $150 million in new federal funding that will flow via MR&I and a new Reclamation agreement, plus $50 million in state/local dollars. DWR and the State Water Commission must still amend cost-share approvals, so design and procurement for these contracts are in active planning and not yet bid, creating near-term opportunity for engineering, construction, equipment, and program management vendors.Garrison Diversion Conservancy District · Jul 16, 2026$423,000,000OpportunityCentral Valley SD is starting planning for a 2028-2030 Educational Programs & Operations levy to replace the current levy expiring in 2027. They are modeling scenarios at a $2.50 per $1,000 AV rate with projected collections of about $48.9M-$52.4M per year and considering a November 2026 election. This work will shape funding for staffing, curriculum, technology, security, transportation, and operations, so service and solution providers who depend on levy-backed dollars should track the assumptions and engagement plan and be ready to support messaging or future program expansions once funding is approved.Central Valley Public School District 3 · Jul 20, 2026$151,850,000OpportunitySWA’s Three-Pronged Approach and 2025–2027 Action Plan commit to revisiting strategic hydraulic improvements and rural expansion, including developing a prioritization matrix for all service areas and identifying ‘pocket areas’ that lack existing infrastructure. The 2027–2029 Water Development Plan includes strategic improvements like the South Fairfield area and MTL capacity upgrades. Planning is underway but individual projects are not yet specified, offering room for engineering and planning firms to help with modeling, prioritization, and project packaging.Southwest Water Authority · Jun 30, 2026$71,200,000200 more pre-RFPs matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
