From the meeting
Finance sought a budget adjustment to record an $8,800 grant award from the Kalamazoo Community Foundation for Election Security Infrastructure Enhancements. The description says the underlying grant had previously been approved for $8,600, so this item aligned the ledger to the funding actually received. That is a small but concrete signal of election-security spending and possible follow-on technology needs.

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 Kalamazoo County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Kalamazoo 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 Kalamazoo County 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 sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more elections government opportunities in Michigan?
