From the meeting
At its August 12, 2026 meeting the commission considered purchasing a 2026 McQueen CCL166 Type III demonstration ambulance built on a Ford F-450 chassis for $277,133. Franklin County EMS said it had reviewed four proposals and preferred this unit because it could deliver in about three to five weeks and would replace Medic 1. The quote also references radio pre-wire and Cradlepoint installation, creating follow-on integration and service work.

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 Franklin 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 Franklin County before the RFP is published?
