THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
New business includes "Communications for council, staff, mayor" with an issue tracking log and city staff/council phones. This points to a need for better internal communication tools, possibly shared phones, messaging, or simple ticketing for issues, but solutions are not chosen yet. Telecom and collaboration vendors can discuss low-friction phone plans, devices, and simple issue-tracking systems suited to a small city.
Could touch hardware (phones) and software (issue tracking/logging).

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 City of Inwood issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Inwood'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 City of Inwood 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 unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified City of Inwood decision-maker contacts.
