At the June 1, 2026 Sharon Selectboard special meeting, the Town Administrator reported that she has drafted a Request for Proposals for work on Bridge 15 and is seeking professional input before releasing it. This indicates the town expects to procure engineering and/or construction services related to Bridge 15 once the RFP language is finalized. Vendors in bridge design, structural engineering, and transportation construction have a near-term opportunity to shape and respond to this solicitation by monitoring for its release and offering informal feedback where appropriate. A productive next conversation would focus on understanding the likely scope (study, design, permitting, and/or construction), anticipated schedule, and any state/federal standards or funding constraints that will govern the work.
Scope not detailed in minutes; could include study, design, and/or construction phases for Bridge 15...

Esparto Fire Protection District’s FY 2026-27 budget sets aside 50,000 for Maintenance-Equipment and 20,000 for Maintenance-Building Improvements. This indicates planned work on apparatus, equipment upkeep, and physical improvements to district facilities during the fiscal year. The document doesn’t list contractors or specific projects, suggesting that scopes and vendors are not yet fixed. Maintenance and construction-related firms can position services for apparatus and equipment repair, station upgrades, and small capital projects, helping the district plan work orders and small contracts against these line items.
These are ongoing operational maintenance lines rather than a single large capital construction proj...
Tiburon’s CIP proposes a $40,000 "Town Owned Facility Backflow Prevention Device Installation" project in FY2026‑27 in response to stricter California drinking water regulations and Marin Municipal Water District’s expanded cross-connection requirements. The project will install approved backflow prevention assemblies on municipal water services where irrigation, fire suppression, or other plumbing configurations present contamination risks. No vendors are listed, and the project is noted as not yet included in the adopted five‑year plan, indicating an early planning phase. Mechanical/plumbing contractors and backflow specialists can help Tiburon identify affected facilities, select and install compliant assemblies, and set up testing and maintenance programs aligned with MMWD policies.
New statewide cross-connection control requirements suggest that similar backflow projects may recur...
The adopted FY 2026‑27 CIP sets aside $40,000 to install backflow prevention devices at Town‑owned facilities in response to new California drinking water and cross‑connection control regulations and enforcement by Marin Municipal Water District. The description notes that MMWD is actively requiring installation of approved assemblies on municipal services where hazards exist, such as irrigation and fire suppression lines. No contractor or design firm is named, and the project is at the planning stage. Backflow device suppliers, plumbing contractors, and engineering firms can engage Tiburon on surveying Town facilities, designing compliant installations, and handling permitting and coordination with MMWD across multiple sites.
Regulatory driver is the State Water Resources Control Board Cross Connection Control Policy Handboo...
