From the meeting
At its August 19, 2026 meeting, the board approved emergency procurement of bulk rock salt for the 2026-2027 winter operations. The County Engineer was authorized to solicit quotes and present them to the County Board Chairperson for approval to the lowest responsible quote. This is an active buying window for winter road materials, with timing driven by limited supply.

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.
