From the meeting
A February 25, 2026 sole-source letter says Utility Associates, Inc. is the only entity offering the integrated body-worn camera, in-car video, and mobile router system. The quote tied to that relationship shows a 5-year package with payments totaling $387,400 and coverage beginning October 1, 2026.
Because the city already had an executed agreement and the packet references new quotes and term dates, this is useful follow-on and renewal intelligence for the incumbent.

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 City of Helena issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Helena'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 City of Helena before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
