How to bid on Wastewater Engineering Services for the City of Richmond
What Richmond is buying
The City of Richmond’s Department of Public Utilities is seeking proposals for on-call professional services supporting its Wastewater Utility. Services may include surveying, planning, investigations, engineering and architectural design, permitting, plan review, bidding, construction support, operations, and overall engineering support.
The work supports capital improvement and larger maintenance projects involving sanitary sewers, pumping stations, wastewater retention and treatment, related infrastructure, and regulatory permitting. This may suit firms seeking ongoing professional-services work across wastewater project stages.
Key date and deadline
The solicitation was published September 30, 2026. Proposals are due October 30, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET.
Submit your response through OpenGov before the deadline. Plan to complete the portal submission ahead of time rather than waiting until the final minutes.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is relevant to professional-services firms with capabilities in wastewater engineering or related fields, such as surveying, planning, investigations, design, permitting, construction support, or utility operations.
Because the requested support spans sewers, pumping stations, treatment processes, and associated infrastructure, firms should assess which parts of that work match their experience and services.
