From the meeting
In the fund balance policy application, the Finance Committee recommended designating $9 million of surplus fund balance for a broadband expansion project. The budget message also noted the county guarantees revenue bonds for countywide high-speed broadband infrastructure including a fiber network for county facilities. The project was not shown as an active solicitation, but the reserved funding signals a major future communications buildout.

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 Jefferson County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Jefferson County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
