THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The county is considering a Memorandum of Understanding with Yellowstone Plains Foundation, Inc. for use of the Eastern Plains Event Center for elections and storage of voting booths. The agreement sets a fee of $300 per year, increasing by $20 on even years starting June 30, 2028, with a review every four years. Facilities and election services vendors can see this as a long-term location choice that may drive needs for storage, security, IT, and logistics support.
MOU formalizes recurring use of a private event center for election operations.

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