From the meeting
At its October 27, 2026 committee meeting, Columbia Water gave an update on the Columbia Canal recovery program. The program includes repairing the canal embankment, replacing the head gates, and completing the new alternate water intake. Staff said the embankment work requires nearly a quarter mile of canal wall rebuilding plus slope and rip rap stabilization for more than three miles.
The three projects represent over $130 million in infrastructure improvements, and the head gate replacement and river intake construction were already underway.

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.
