New York City Water Board: Request for Proposals for Consultant on Operational Efficiencies

The New York City Water Board (the “Board”) is a public benefit corporation whose primary duty is to establish and collect water and sewer rates and charges for the Water and Sewer System (the “System”) of the City of New York (the “City”).  The System is operated and maintained by the City’s Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”). 

With substantial System assets ranging from upstate reservoirs to in-City wastewater treatment plants, the Board and DEP seek to optimize the operation and maintenance (“O&M”) of such assets and reduce costs borne by the ratepayers while maintaining or improving the current level of service.  Therefore, the Board seeks to procure the services of a contractor or contractors that will provide consulting services focused on improving DEP’s O&M performance, while reducing costs and enhancing its operational efficiencies. 

All qualified vendors are invited to respond to the RFP.  The RFP package may be obtained from the following link:
