From the meeting
The fire boat repower report said the District had been awarded a $110,000 California Division of Boating and Waterways Law Enforcement Equipment Grant for the Harbor Patrol Fire Boat-1 project. Grant funds will cover the two main propulsion engines, while the District will use its maintenance budget for the fire pump engine. The grant is a concrete funding trigger for the vessel upgrade and may open related installation and support work.

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.
