From the meeting
At its September 1, 2026 meeting, the city heard that the library board is looking into acquiring hotspots to check out to the public. Staff said there is a need for households that cannot afford or access internet service, and a representative from AT&T had already been contacted. The idea is still being explored, but it signals a possible library technology purchase and service launch.

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 Shoshone issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Shoshone'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 City of Shoshone before the RFP is published?
