Regionalization Feasibility Study Services

The government authority in Kansas seeks a consultant to provide offsite regionalization feasibility study services. The selected vendor must perform a planning-level feasibility analysis that documents existing conditions, evaluates reasonable alternatives across all water system categories, develops preliminary cost estimates, and identifies key constraints, implementation considerations, and recommended next steps. Additionally, the consultant must demonstrate meaningful stakeholder engagement throughout every study phase. Specific scope requirements include identifying technically feasible regionalization, interconnection, shared-service, governance, operational, and capital-improvement options. The buyer requires order-of-magnitude capital, operating, lifecycle, and implementation cost estimates, as well as an evaluation of benefits, risks, constraints, sequencing, funding pathways, and governance considerations for feasible alternatives. Eligibility is limited to onshore USA organizations. The buyer is looking for proposal responses regarding the budget. Vendors must submit all questions no later than August 21, 2026.
