From the meeting
At the September 21, 2026 meeting, the board said Joel Baird's retirement was expected within the next several months and that the job description would be posted soon. This is a buying trigger because leadership change can shift media operations, staffing, and future service needs. The next decision point is the posting and replacement process, not a contract award.

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