From the meeting
At its September 17, 2026 meeting, the board considered awarding $50,000 to the Ontwa Township-Edwardsburg Police Department from opioid settlement funds for its first K-9 unit. The package says the unit would support narcotics detection, community education, and prevention work, with a total start-up need of $75,000 requested and 12 to 16 weeks to implement after approval. The funding is tied to vehicle outfitting, K-9 purchase and training, and specialized 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 Cass County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Cass County'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 Cass County 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.
