From the meeting
Fire Marshal Kevin Carter requested a program to track inspections, testing, and maintenance of fire protection systems, and he noted there would be no cost to the county. The county was still at the need-definition stage, with no product named and no procurement launched. This is a good signal for software vendors once the county decides whether to buy or adopt a system.

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