Stormwater Utility Feasibility Study Service

The City of Poughkeepsie, New York, is seeking professional engineering consultants to conduct a phased, comprehensive stormwater utility feasibility study. The municipal authority is trying to evaluate its current program, determine ratepayer equity, and establish a structured implementation plan for a stormwater utility. The project covers a preliminary feasibility study focusing on program review, followed by a comprehensive feasibility study that includes program evaluation, needs assessment, public education, legislative processes, and rate structure development. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The selected consultant will perform all contract work offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to determine the cost of the services. The agency requires all clarifying questions to be submitted no later than July 21, 2026. Evaluation of proposals will be based on the submitted engineering qualifications and the proposed approach to the phased study. The final deliverable must culminate in a actionable implementation plan for the stormwater utility.
