An accounting team should not have to rebuild the same answer in a spreadsheet every month. Energy Trust wants to replace Microsoft Dynamics GP with a cloud financial system that connects records, approvals and reporting. Its September 21 invitation describes a familiar problem in unusually concrete terms: spreadsheets, PDF stamps and shared folders have become part of the machinery that keeps the books moving.

The buyer reports around 76,000 payable transactions and 38,000 payments a year. A replacement has to keep that work running while connecting with retained systems. Vendors must distinguish what their product already does from configuration, third-party tools and custom development. The response workbook rules out an on-premises deployment. Energy Trust is buying a working financial system and its implementation, not an independent assessment.

Email the required notice of intent by October 2 at 5 p.m. Pacific; proposals follow October 23 at the same hour. No budget is published. Supply three comparable customer references and a five-year cost projection in the required templates. The proposed timetable targets the first usable system for April 2028. Future capabilities should be explained without quietly adding them to the initial implementation.

A training session should help someone do the work waiting on the other side of it. Washington’s Health Care Authority is widening its provider pool across seven categories, from prevention to recovery support. Problem gambling is the newly added category, covering curriculum, community events, evaluation and practical support.

Applicants can choose one or more categories and activities. The official notice requires three years of relevant service experience in each selected category, plus three years serving diverse staff or populations in the listed settings. A Washington business license is required, or a commitment to obtain one within 30 days of selection. Existing contractors need not rebid their current category; they may bid for another if qualified.

Bids are due October 1 at 3 p.m. Pacific. The questions deadline has passed; the optional subcontractor-interest date was September 21, the issue date. Download the full packet and amendments through Washington’s WEBS system before preparing a response. Work is assigned as needed, with funding set for each assignment. A place in the pool brings no guaranteed work.

The useful part of a plan review is what happens after someone finds a problem. The Tulalip Tribes needs consultants who can check building and civil plans, explain corrections and inspect the work on site. The assignment covers homes, commercial buildings and infrastructure under the Tribes’ adopted codes. A finding has to become something another person can act on.

The packet expects initial reviews within two to four weeks. For incomplete or nonconforming applications, it sets a separate requirement: a review letter within 15 calendar days of the initial request. Inspectors must also be available on the Reservation during specified weekday hours, with emergency support. This is a service with an operating rhythm, not simply a stack of plans to clear.

Proposals close September 25 at 4 p.m., with no timezone stated. Applicants need relevant licenses, certifications and insurance, plus comparable projects from the past five years. No budget is published. Propose hours and rates, and clarify the packet’s differing December and January start references.

A new tank is only one part of expanding a working digester. At QUALCO’s Monroe facility, the Tulalip Tribes wants a design that connects new mixing, heating, gas handling and controls to the existing plant. The packet makes an unusually useful admission: records of the old electrical and mechanical systems may be incomplete or inaccurate. The selected engineer must check them.

The proposed complete-mix digester, which keeps its contents mixed during treatment, would handle dairy and food waste. The specified capacity range is 900,000 to 1.5 million gallons. Work includes the connections that make the tank usable: pumps, heat recovery, gas treatment and monitoring. A larger vessel on a drawing does not settle those questions.

This is a specialist competition. Applicants need Washington engineering credentials, assigned licensed engineers and three successful complete-mix digesters of at least 500,000 gallons. Proposals close September 30, labeled 5 p.m. PST. The optional site visit has passed. Confirm the timezone and conflicting completion dates; the attached project funding totals are not the consultant’s fee.

Some engineering decisions begin with a question, rather than a construction contract. Is a proposal feasible? Does a study leave an important risk unexplained? The Tulalip Tribes seeks an on-call adviser for those moments, with work ranging from reviewing plans and specifications to assessing permits, studies and technical risks across disciplines.

The selection weights explain the buyer’s priorities. Relevant experience accounts for 35 percent, breadth of expertise 25 percent and government or Tribal experience another 20 percent. Responsiveness and cost account for 10 percent each. Desired qualifications include at least ten years of relevant experience. Professional Engineer registration is preferred; the notice does not make it a universal entry requirement.

The initial term is one year, with possible extensions and no guaranteed minimum workload. Applicants should supply their rates, staff qualifications, comparable work and three references. Proposals are due October 2. The packet gives only the date, while the website displays midnight without a timezone. That small-looking field needs confirmation before anyone treats it as the actual cutoff.

A building may house several services, but its expenses do not explain themselves. The Tulalip Tribes wants help working out which facilities and costs qualify for Section 105(l) leases. These are federal arrangements that can compensate eligible facility costs for delivering federally funded Tribal programs. The work begins with understanding what happens inside each building.

The consultant would inventory facilities, assess eligibility, calculate potential compensation and prepare lease packages for negotiation with federal agencies. The brief also reaches beyond a signed lease: staff training, administrative procedures and future facility planning are included in the expected 24-month engagement. The result should be something Tribal staff can continue to manage.

Applicants need at least five years of Section 105(l) development and successful lease negotiations for Tribal governments. General property experience alone does not meet that description. Proposals are due October 9; the listing says 4:30 p.m. without a timezone. The question period has closed. Submit separate technical and cost PDFs, with three project examples, three references and a proposed maximum fee.

An organizational chart can look tidy while responsibility remains unclear. The Port of Longview wants a review of how its departments, reporting relationships and decision-making authority work together. The consultant must recommend a practical structure, including whether the chief operating officer role should exist and how its responsibilities should be handled.

A September 16 amendment changes the boundaries of the assignment. Phase I is the initial work; Phases II and III are optional, with scope and fees agreed before either proceeds. The Port accepts an approach that is mostly virtual. It also permits relevant examples and references from proposed partners, provided the proposal identifies who did the work.

Proposals remain due October 2 at 5 p.m. Pacific. No budget is disclosed. Explain the number of interviews included and price additional interviews separately. The ten-page limit for the non-cost proposal now excludes key staff resumes. Price all seven listed deliverables in the same PDF. Send it to both named contacts, with 26-068-PSC and your business name in the subject.

A learning platform can accumulate out-of-date courses just as a cupboard accumulates things nobody quite remembers buying. Energy Trust’s brief includes the work of keeping that from happening: course versions, archives, user access, reporting and support. It anticipates 20 learning modules, with more possible during the contract, each roughly 10 to 30 minutes long and designed for adults using phones or computers.

The initial two-year budget has a $300,000 ceiling. Applicants need to explain both how they will teach the material and how they will run the system around it. Accessible course design, practical administration and continuing maintenance belong in the same proposal. The term runs from January 2027 through December 2028, with possible extensions.

The next date to act on is September 29, when intent to bid is required and any questions are due. Proposals follow October 30 at 5 p.m. PDT. The proposal packet and online form give different instructions for submission and reporting. Obtain written clarification about the route and required reports before completing the package.

A customer interview and an energy calculation can both be good evidence. They answer different questions. Energy Trust’s research pool makes room for both, covering qualitative research, numerical analysis, engineering analysis and resource planning. Applicants may put themselves forward for one area or several. A tightly explained specialty can therefore be a complete application.

The pool is intended for smaller assignments, generally below $100,000. Its work supports decisions about energy programs, customer needs, savings and future resources. The buyer is looking for people who can choose appropriate methods and explain their findings, with work samples, references and rates to support that claim. Software and information-technology vendors are outside this particular invitation.

Applications remain welcome through December 31 at 5 p.m. PST. Email the qualifications package to the address in the official packet and follow its section limits. Acceptance makes a firm eligible for later work; it promises neither a project nor a share of a fund. The useful next step is identifying the research question your experience equips you to handle.

Coaching has to make room for both a person and the expectations of their job. Energy Trust seeks coaches who can work one to one with employees at different levels, including people moving into new responsibilities or needing help meeting expectations. The brief calls for empathy, cultural competence and accountability. Those words need to show up in a coach’s actual practice.

The buyer will consider experience with diverse clients, familiarity with nonprofit organizations, training, credentials, references and pricing. International Coaching Federation certification is asked about, but is not stated as a prerequisite. Applicants still need to show the training and experience behind their approach.

The pool accepts applications on a rolling basis. Submit biographies or resumes for proposed coaches, rates, three references and the requested disclosures through the official form. There is no published budget or guaranteed workload. Selection gives Energy Trust a group it can draw on when a suitable need arises; it makes no promise about how many sessions will follow.
