Bids, RFPs & RFQs Print Bid Title: RFP Missoula Utility Rate Study and Financial Plan Category: Professional Services--General Status: Open Description: The City of Missoula is seeking proposals from consulting companies capable of conducting studies of water, wastewater, and stormwater rates and related rate infrastructure. The City of Missoula has an approximate population of 78,000 and owns and operates three utility systems: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater. Each utility is accounted for in separate enterprise funds. Growth of the general community is driving the need for improvements and upgrades to infrastructure and an increase in capacity. In 2025, the City completed Water and Wastewater Facilities Plans, which included detailed 20-year projections for Capital Improvement Plans (CIP’s). The Stormwater Utility completed a Comprehensive Stormwater Quality Plan in 2025, which includes a 10-year CIP to guide future investments in water quality protection and stormwater infrastructure. The City maintains a long-term financial proforma for each of the three utilities which can be provided to the selected consultant. The most recent rate study for the wastewater utility was completed in 2017, and this will be the second such study performed for the water utility (while under City ownership). The Stormwater Utility was established in 2016, and a rate study was completed in 2019. The general goals for this study are to validate equitable utility rates to reflect current and anticipated conditions; adopt a financial plan for future operations and capital improvements. The City’s current rate structure for water and wastewater is a uniform block rate structure, while stormwater rates are based on vehicle trip counts, all of which the City intends to maintain. Proposals should be no more than 25 pages, not including resumes. A digital copy of the written proposal clearly identified as the Missoula Utility Rate Study and Financial Plan shall be submitted online through the link /FormCenter/Public-Works-14/Utility-Rate-Study-and-Financial-Plan-Su-353 on or before 3:00 PM local time on Thursday April 9 th , 2026.
