Eastside Fire & Rescue and the City of Issaquah have been named potentially liable parties for PFAS contamination from historical AFFF training at several sites, and Ecology issued Agreed Orders in 2025 requiring investigation and cleanup. On June 11, 2026 staff presented Department of Ecology Grant Amendment No. 2, which extends both PFAS grants to 12/31/2027 and increases eligible funding by 105000 and 1800000 respectively, bringing the EF&R-related grants to 1110000 and 3800000 for interim actions, investigation, and remediation work. This confirms a multi‑year, state‑funded environmental remediation program focused on PFAS assessment, design, and cleanup activities at EF&R headquarters and multiple training locations. Vendors in environmental consulting, site characterization, remediation system design/build, groundwater treatment, and long‑term monitoring can position services around executing this larger, extended scope. The next step is execution of the grant amendments by Chief Aho and development of specific work packages under the Agreed Orders for 2026–2027.

The agenda schedules a continued Notice of Intent hearing for 31 Hill Road (Vettese) concerning a dock. This indicates a waterfront improvement project that must meet local and state wetland and waterway regulations before construction begins. Although the document does not mention cost or contractors, dock projects in regulated areas typically require environmental permitting support, design, and specialized marine or waterfront construction services. Vendors experienced in dock design, permitting, and shoreline stabilization could connect with the applicant or provide services to ensure the project meets conservation requirements and any mitigation conditions.

The FY27–FY28 budget highlights a new challenge from invasive golden mussels affecting Contra Costa Water District’s untreated water system. The district plans to complete a Golden Mussel Vulnerability Assessment and Invasive Species Control Plan in FY27 and has budgeted approximately $422,600 as a new capital study under Operations & Maintenance, with intent to integrate findings into operations, maintenance, and capital plans. No vendor has been named for this assessment and planning effort. This opens the door for firms specializing in aquatic invasive species, biofouling control, pipeline and intake protection, and related monitoring and treatment technologies to support the study and position for follow‑on implementation work (e.g., retrofit design, physical/chemical control systems, monitoring programs).
The study is framed as a precursor to future changes in maintenance, operations, and capital project...
The FY27–FY28 capital program allocates $4.0M in FY27 to purchase mitigation credits to comply with Contra Costa Water District’s 2024 Incidental Take Permit for Delta operations. This is a discrete environmental compliance purchase managed under the Water Resources division, and the budget notes a sharp spike in FY27 followed by no additional credit purchases in FY28. While the main credit provider(s) may already be identified, the scale of this environmental obligation and the new permit signal ongoing habitat mitigation, monitoring, and reporting needs tied to Delta intake and conveyance operations. Environmental consultants, mitigation bankers, and monitoring technology vendors can use this as a wedge to discuss longer‑term compliance strategies, adaptive management, and potential future projects that go beyond this one‑time credit buy.
This is a regulatory‑driven purchase; while the credits themselves may be sourced from one or more b...
