From the meeting
At the October 19, 2026 meeting, the council moved to confirm and ratify the non-exclusive cable franchise for Mediacom Southeast, LLC. The ordinance says the franchise covers maintaining distribution lines for cable television in city rights-of-way and amends the effective-date language to require an executed franchise agreement within 60 days of the mayors execution. The work is already selected, but the timing still matters for franchise administration and related field work.

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.
