Council clears RFP release for Raintree water‑treatment plant design after nearly $1M grant
Summary
Staff reported a $996,000 design grant for the Raintree Water Treatment Plant and sought council consensus to issue an RFP for design services; council gave consensus and staff said the RFP would be released the next day.
Director Cathy presented a request for council review and consensus to issue a request for proposals to select a consultant to design the Raintree Water Treatment Plant. Cathy told the council the city had secured roughly $996,000 for the project’s design phase and clarified that the RFP covers design only, not construction.
Staff said the RFP includes grantor‑required legal language and timeline constraints; the city intends a one‑year design schedule to avoid prolonged work and to ensure firms that bid can deliver in a timely manner. After questions about readability and legal content, council members signaled consensus to proceed and staff indicated they would post the RFP the following day.
Council did not vote formally on the RFP but recorded consensus to move forward. Staff said they will manage phone inquiries and that procurement language balances grantor and city requirements.
Next steps: staff will post the RFP, accept proposals under the grant conditions, and return to council as appropriate for selection and contract authorization.
