From the meeting
At the September 8, 2026 meeting, the committee discussed a possible parcel tax increase to fund Blackhawk police services and avoid staff cuts projected for 2027-2028 and 2028-2029. Staff is working with County Counsel and the Elections Department on a template if the initiative moves forward. The board estimated about $19,000 for a ballot measure in a regular election cycle, or about $66,000 for a special election.
This is a funding and election-setup lead, not a procurement 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.
When will Contra Costa County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Contra Costa 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 Contra Costa County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
