From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, the council was asked to ratify the city's participation in FDLE's FY 2026-2027 Drones as a First Responder program and the Oct. 1 grant application. The request sought $30,000 in state funding toward two Skydio X10 unmanned aircraft systems, with a required $30,000 city match and a total project cost of $60,000.
The grant was not yet awarded; if funded, the city would return for budget authorization before buying equipment.

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 City of Mount Dora issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Mount Dora's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
