From the meeting
At the October 12, 2026 meeting, staff reviewed a proposal for remote hourly water-meter reading using a collector mounted on a water tower. The system was estimated at $23,363 upfront plus $8,400 annually, and the vendor would handle hardware, software, and updates. Staff said it would replace drive-by readings, reduce billing time, and help identify leaks sooner.
The item was tabled pending a vendor presentation and possible input from another city using the system.

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