THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Following a recent EPA review of OT and IT security at the Water Treatment Facility, the City plans to apply for the 2026 State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program. The Water Director is authorized to develop a grant application for network security, risk mitigation, cybersecurity planning, and related physical security with a 40% local match funded from the water operating budget. Cybersecurity solution providers have an opening to help shape the scope, budget, and project plan before the application is submitted and any implementation contracts are considered.
EPA recently reviewed the facility, highlighting ongoing cybersecurity needs; SLCGP funding is administered via Michigan DTMB.

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.
