Proposers must demonstrate at least 10 years of similar government contract experience and meet specific licensing requirements, including holding a Class 1 Water and Wastewater License and employing a Master Electrician on staff.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The City will fund capital expenditures and provide office spaces, vehicles, and utilities, while the selected firm will be responsible for daily operations, maintenance, emergency services, reporting, and asset management. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the comprehensive scope suggests a substantial municipal infrastructure management contract. The procurement aims to maximize community benefits by ensuring efficient, compliant, and responsive public infrastructure management.

Interested firms must submit comprehensive proposals demonstrating technical expertise, operational capabilities, and cost-effective service delivery strategies for managing critical public infrastructure and utility services.
