From the meeting
Resolution 26-10-13C established four separate telecommunications funds to track revenues and expenditures for the Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) grant program. The resolution says KPUD has been awarded a BEAD grant to expand fiber broadband to thousands of homes and businesses across Kitsap County. This is a strong grant-funded broadband expansion signal with future construction, accounting, and affiliate-management work ahead.

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.
