From the meeting
At the August 5, 2026 meeting, M&T Bank's Ryan Fohl briefed the board on financing options for the apparatus that is on order. He said the district could pay cash or use lease-purchase financing, and he recommended engaging a financial advisor. He also warned that an installment sales contract would require a Mandatory Referendum in 2027 before the 2028 budget.

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.
