DESCRIPTION


The government authority in Kansas seeks a consultant to perform a planning-level regionalization feasibility study for water systems. The study will document existing conditions, evaluate reasonable alternatives across the full range of water system categories, develop preliminary cost estimates, identify key constraints and implementation considerations, and recommend next steps.

The consultant will identify technically feasible regionalization, interconnection, shared-service, governance, operational, and capital-improvement options for each water system category. The analysis will estimate order-of-magnitude capital, operating, lifecycle, and implementation costs, while evaluating benefits, risks, constraints, sequencing, funding pathways, and governance considerations.

Meaningful stakeholder engagement is required throughout each phase of the study. Questions must be submitted by August 21, 2026, and proposals are due September 11, 2026.
