From the meeting
Dorchester County Public Works proposed a new ordinance process for independent third-party review of complex road, drainage, and sidewalk or multi-use path projects. The draft would let the director require a consultant, collect the estimated fee up front, and return unused funds. That creates a clear opening around inspection, quality control, and consultant support for future capital projects.

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 Dorchester County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Dorchester 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 Dorchester County before the RFP is published?
