SUMMARY
On April 23, 2025, the City of Hayward (City) issued a Request for Proposal (RFP), through the City’s OpenGov procurement portal, for a consultant to work collaboratively with City staff to prepare a Sewer Collection System Master Plan. The consultant is expected to provide highly skilled technical engineering services to develop a document evaluating the current and future capacity needs of the City’s sewer system and identifying short- and long-term capital improvements. Staff completed an extensive review process of all proposals submitted by the June 20, 2025, deadline, and recommends Woodard & Curran to prepare the Master Plan.
