About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District is requesting information on Strategic Funding & Grant Consulting Services via RFI, with responses due September 8, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. CT. This is market research only; no contract will be awarded from this RFI process.

The District serves approximately 440,000 people across 24 communities in the Madison area and seeks qualified consulting firms specializing in state and federal grant procurement, including grants, earmarks, and loan-forgiveness programs. The District is evaluating long-term strategy to maximize funding opportunities through programs such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. The District lacks internal capacity for continuous monitoring, tracking, and technical grant application drafting and seeks to understand how external consultants partner with utilities to bridge this gap.

Respondents must address five categories: firm profile and core capabilities, including documented experience with the U.S. Department of Energy, USDA, EPA, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wisconsin DNR, and Congressional earmarks; service delivery and strategic approach; collaboration and client resource expectations; pricing and business models with non-binding annual budget estimates for a mid-sized regional utility; and supplemental services.

Questions are due Friday, August 14, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. CT, with responses provided by Monday, August 24, 2026. The District may conduct 30-minute follow-up calls with selected respondents during the weeks of September 14 and 21, 2026. All RFI responses remain confidential and closed to public records requests until a formal RFP, Notice of Intent to Award, or Notice of Award is issued. Participation is voluntary and will not advantage or disadvantage firms in any subsequent Request for Proposal. Responses must be submitted via email to rfp@madsewer.org with the subject line "Strategic Funding & Grant Consulting RFI," directed to Amanda Wegner, Communications & Public Affairs Manager.
