THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
A community member will brief the Saluda Board on installing safety barriers to control access in a jointly controlled area with Polk County School System. The concept references folding bollards from SJF Material Handling and would be funded by the community but requires school system coordination. The Board is gathering information now and plans a decision at the August 10, 2026 meeting, so solutions providers can still influence scope, design, and product selection.
Funding is expected from community sources, but installations would affect school/city property and requirements.

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.

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