From the meeting
Amaranth, East Garafraxa, and Grand Valley executed an agreement to dissolve the Grand Valley and District Fire Department Joint Board of Management effective January 1, 2027. Grand Valley will assume sole ownership, control, personnel, assets, liabilities, and all future operating and capital costs for the fire department. The parties must present by-laws to their councils by September 1, 2026, so the governance transition is still the key next step.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
