From the meeting
Council discussed an artificial intelligence-based search tool that could be integrated with the city's existing online ordinance system. Staff said the council wanted more information on functionality, accuracy, costs, and alternative providers, and that it would return as an action item at a future meeting. No provider was selected in the source, but the city had identified the need and was exploring options as of the October 26, 2026 agenda.
The item remained open pending further review.

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