A policy update, read for the vendor.

Detroit Water & Sewerage updated its Procurement Policy — new equalization-credit rules effective May 20, 2026 — and hosted a vendor workshop to explain it. BronzeKeel decoded what actually changed and what it means for anyone bidding DWSD work: the revised award math, the new compliance gates, and the questions worth asking. The branded deliverables below are the actual read, offered as samples.
