From the meeting
On October 28, 2026 the council held a public hearing on the proposed franchise agreement with Coast Communication Company for operations within the city limits. The agreement said Coast was a family-owned internet service provider proposing a high-speed fiber optic network in Aberdeen, Hoquiam and Cosmopolis, using overhead and underground facilities in the rights-of-way. The draft franchise term was 15 years and would require a 3% franchise fee on gross subscriber revenues.
Decision state: public hearing held; ordinance was on 1st/2nd reading.

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 Aberdeen's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
