From the meeting
CSBA updated Board Policy 3311 and Administrative Regulation 3311 on bids, including electronic bidding, public notice, prequalification, protests, and best value contracting. The policy now states that for projects over $1,000,000 the Governing Board may use best value procurement and must adopt published evaluation procedures. The document was presented as a policy update rather than a specific project award.
Decision state: proposed.

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.
