From the meeting
At its September 22, 2026 meeting, the Commission affirmed that Whatcom PUD believes Pt. Roberts was not served after the first round of Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) funding and should be considered for the next round. The item is a grant-funding advocacy signal, not a procurement.
It points to future broadband buildout work if Pt. Roberts is included in the next round.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Whatcom PUD's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
