From the meeting
At its October 1, 2026 meeting, the trustees discussed crack sealing targeted to begin in mid-October 2026 and several pavement condition rating (PCR) options. Staff compared physical assessments from Verdanas for $29,000 or GPD Group for $25,000 against an AI-based subscription from Violytics with a $4,750 startup fee and $11,750 annual cost. The group favored the AI approach and also discussed piggybacking on a future county AI contract and creating a paving reserve account.
This was discussed; no selection was made.

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 Town of Russell issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Russell'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 Town of Russell 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.
Where can I find more public works government opportunities in Ohio?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces public works pre-RFPs in Ohio as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
