Council authorizes $27,200 contract with Donovan Enterprises for comprehensive water/wastewater rate study
Summary
Bandon authorized the city manager to contract with Donovan Enterprises for a comprehensive cost-of-service and rate study at a contract cap of $27,200 and a 2–3 month timeline to align with the FY26–27 budget.
City staff recommended Donovan Enterprises to prepare a comprehensive water and wastewater cost-of-service and rate study and the council unanimously authorized the city manager to enter into an agreement not to exceed $27,200.
Staff explained the city received three proposals: Donovan Enterprises at $27,200 with a 2–3 month timeline; the Oregon Association of Water Utilities for about $34,500 with an August–September finish; and the Rural Community Assistance Corporation offering a no-cost option but with an 18–24 month timeline. Staff recommended Donovan for timeliness and alignment with budget preparation. The council moved and unanimously approved the authorization.
