From the meeting
At its October 15, 2026 special meeting the council reviewed the RAPID fiber network and agreed to move forward with creating an RFP for a third-party partnership. Staff said the city had adopted the RAPID Broadband Master Plan in 2020 and had approved a Rapid Fiberoptic Joint Powers Agreement in 2022, but the earlier project had never connected to homes or businesses. The council discussed private funding, 2027 upgrades, and the need for additional full-time staff if the city operated the system itself.

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 City of McCall's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
