THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
On May 13 the council agreed to set aside up to $25,000 in the FY 2026–2027 budget for an Oculus Rail contract to install four rail crossing sensors that log train blockages. The city attorney is still reviewing the contract, and pricing and terms are subject to negotiation. While Oculus is the named vendor, the discussion shows a broader need for data, communications, and public safety tech around blocked crossings and incident documentation.
Council wants one-year data to support discussions with Union Pacific and possible grant or legislative efforts; integration with existing communications could be a follow-on need.

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