THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Franklin County plans to replace the Regional Communication Center security system using ARPA interest funds. A3 Communications has provided a $49,076 quote for a Verkada-based package covering cameras, access control, intercom, and 10‑year licenses, and the administrator is recommended to be authorized to sign. The vendor is effectively chosen, but there may be follow-on needs for networking, electrical work, and system integration that other providers can support.
Quote excludes wire management, racks, network switches, pathways, conduit, and electrical service, which could trigger separate procurements.

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 Franklin 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 Franklin 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.
