From the meeting
At its September 28, 2026 meeting, the court discussed a National Weather Service request to install communications equipment on the Howard County South Mountain tower. The court did not approve the request; instead it asked NOAA to build a separate structure on county property and created a sub-committee to keep discussing the issue. The buying signal is future tower access, site work, and communications infrastructure needs, but the decision remains open.

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