The reports noted above have been prepared independently and the City seeks a comprehensive yet simplified document to help guide its water planning efforts.
II. Purpose
The purpose of this request for proposal is to engage the services of a qualified engineering firm to compile, evaluate, combine, analyze, recommend and prepare a final Water Master Plan for the City.

The final report shall be a representation of current community planning efforts coupled with community values and strategic direction.
The City is expecting a dynamic firm that can represent, present and communicate complex water planning issues into a comprehensive Master Plan that will form the basis for City water planning for years to come. The primary categories of the Master Plan shall include:
„X Water Resources „X Water Use and Conservation „X Water Treatment and Transmission „X Water Distribution „X Support of Land Use „X Capital Improvement Plan
