THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
EDA grant project for electrical system resiliency, including pole replacements, refurbishment of a BPA substation transformer (upgrade to 8 megawatts), and upsizing wiring for distribution to the city center and industrial park.
The project aims to build resiliency into the electrical system. The city has already spent $500,000-$600,000 on engineering. The total grant is $3 million, but the city expects to return about $1 million. The project involves 'overengineering' to avoid geotechnical reports and meet deadlines. 18% of the funding is a state loan.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
