From the meeting
Council received an update on the move to bring utility billing in-house. Rideau St. Lawrence (RSL) has provided meter reading and billing services since 2005, and the Municipality has already given notice that it will take over billing.
Staff are working with RSL to transfer data and with Central Square to set up the utility billing module at no additional software cost. The current RSL contract costs about $170,000 per year, and staff also said meter reading options may include a new logging meter reader, another provider, or part-time contract staff.

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