From the meeting
At the September 28, 2026 workshop, the council approved a resolution naming a city liaison for the Dallas County outdoor warning siren replacement program. The mayor also reported that Dallas County had secured a grant for new warning sirens for the city. This is a grant-funded public safety equipment signal, with a defined county program and city participation already underway.

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.
