From the meeting
At its August 31, 2026 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution calling a special election on a 1% countywide retailers' sales tax. If approved, 25% of proceeds would reduce property taxes financing the county hospital and the rest would fund county health care services and emergency medical services. Collection would begin April 1, 2027 if voters approve.
This is a funding trigger for hospital and EMS programs, not a procurement yet.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Ottawa 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 Ottawa County before the RFP is published?
