From the meeting
At the July 13, 2026 meeting, council discussed the city fire siren lacking a backup generator and options for notifications and vehicle access during power outages. No purchase was approved in the minutes, but the need is clearly identified. The issue points to future equipment or infrastructure work tied to emergency alerting and outage resilience.

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.
