Spring Hill staff told the council on June 26 that the city has issued a request for qualifications for the new wastewater treatment facility and is seeking progressive design–build teams.

City staff said teams have six weeks to submit proposals, with a mandatory preproposal meeting scheduled for July 9 and proposals due Aug. 7. The RFQ asks proposers to form progressive design–build teams (contractor and engineer partners) to develop and submit responses, and staff encouraged interested firms to coordinate and submit competitive teams.

No council action was required the night of the announcement; staff said they will review submissions and report back to the council as the procurement progresses.
