Wastewater master plan RFQ due; staff says sewer rate study must precede design work
Summary
City staff said a request for qualifications for the wastewater treatment master plan is due and that the sewer rate study must be completed first; sewer rate work is the top priority for the master planning process.
Ocean Shores staff reported that the request for qualifications (RFQ) for the wastewater treatment master plan is due the day after the meeting at 3:00 p.m., and said more details will be available at the next public works committee meeting.
Staff emphasized that any wastewater master planning work must follow a sewer rate study. The meeting record states that the sewer rate study is a required first step for consultants because the rate analysis affects capital planning and the timing of infrastructure projects.
Why it matters: wastewater master planning and sewer rates can drive project prioritization and funding decisions; a sewer rate study can affect timing, scope, and cost allocation for projects included in a master plan.
Discussion vs. decision: staff presented an RFQ deadline and explained sequencing (sewer rate study before broader master-plan tasks). No formal council vote was recorded.
