RFP 2026 Rate Analysis - Request for Proposals for Utility Rate and Town Fee Rate Analysis

The Town of Ignacio is seeking qualified firms to conduct a comprehensive rate analysis for its municipal utilities—water, wastewater, and irrigation—and to evaluate associated town fees such as licenses and permits. The analysis must determine rates that fully cover operational costs, short‑term maintenance, future asset replacement, and reserve funding. Deliverables will include detailed cost breakdowns, recommended rate structures, and supporting documentation for board approval. • Perform cost‑of‑service analysis for water, wastewater, and irrigation utilities. • Assess current fee structures (licenses, permits) and recommend adjustments. • Calculate rates that fund operations, maintenance, capital replacement, and reserves. • Provide a final report with recommended rate schedules and justification. • Ensure compliance with applicable state and local regulations.
