WHAT THEY WANT
(Summarized from the RFP)
The Water Forum — a collaborative partnership of water providers, environmental organizations, business leaders, local governments, and community stakeholders administered as a department of the City of Sacramento — seeks qualified firms to be placed on an on-call pre-qualified consultant list for five categories of professional services spanning October 2026 through June 2031 (five City fiscal years). The Water Forum pursues two coequal goals: providing a reliable and safe water supply for the Sacramento region and preserving the fishery, wildlife, recreational, and aesthetic values of the lower American River.
