From the meeting
At the September 17, 2026 meeting, staff updated the board on the school waste diversion grants now called eco-Impact Grants. Applications were open and due October 20, 2026, with committee review planned for November. The grants are available to schools or non-profit organizations in an ecomaine community, so this is an active funding opportunity rather than a completed award.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
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.
When will Ecomaine issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Ecomaine's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Ecomaine before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified Ecomaine decision-maker contacts.
