THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Erie County is setting up a $160,000 budget for the FY 2024-2027 Operation Stone Garden grant, creating a bureau and budget lines. A second ordinance creates $170,000 in lines for the FY 2025-2028 Operation Stone Garden grant. These DHS border-security grants often fund overtime, vehicles, communications, surveillance, and related equipment, so public safety and tech vendors should monitor how the County allocates these funds.

Background

Specific use of the Operation Stone Garden funds is not detailed; funds typically support law enforcement operations and equipment.

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 Erie MPO issue an RFP for this project?

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Erie MPO'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 Erie MPO before the RFP is published?

Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified Erie MPO decision-maker contacts.
