Background

The management fee is $150,000, payable on July 1st of the following year, with an escalator capped at 3% per year based on the CPIU. Revenue from hotel occupancy tax and motor vehicle taxes will first pay debt service, then capital expenditures, then the management fee.

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.

When will McLennan County issue an RFP for this project?

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks McLennan County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
