From the meeting
At its October 5, 2026 meeting, the council heard that Poweshiek County had placed a moratorium on data centers for at least a year and requested guidelines before any data centers are built. This is not a purchase, but it is a policy and permitting trigger that can shape future consulting, legal, and planning work. The buying window remains open until the county sets its rules.

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