From the meeting
Council approved a 2026 application to the Union of BC Municipalities Community Emergency Preparedness Fund for up to $30,000 for Emergency Support Services equipment and training. The request was aimed at enhancing local Emergency Support Services team capacity. This is an open grant-funded public safety lead, with procurement likely tied to the award outcome.

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.

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