From the meeting
In the September 18, 2026 discussion of Fort Collins election history, the City Clerk said a special election tied to a circulating petition could require special appropriations from Council. That is a direct funding trigger, but no amount or exact election date was stated. The signal matters because a special election would create near-term services around election administration, outreach, and ballot processing.
The item is not a procurement yet, but it is a clear budget and operational planning prompt.

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.
