From the meeting
At the October 20, 2026 meeting, the Authority had an action item for a VATI 2024 request for grant extension. The packet also showed VATI 2024 construction already underway, with a January 20, 2027 completion target in the attached materials. This is a live grant-management signal tied to schedule relief and ongoing broadband buildout.
The open decision is whether the extension will be supported and how the grant timeline will be adjusted.

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 Franklin County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Franklin County before the RFP is published?
