From the meeting
City Manager Mary Babcock reported that the water system is losing about 100,000 gallons a day. The city plans to do a leak study and look at obtaining a USDA loan for system repairs. This is a pre-funding utility improvement signal tied to a major water loss problem, with the next buying step likely around study scope and repair planning.

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