THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Procurement and installation of new water meters to replace defunct system.
The city has an existing capital lease for the old meters (approx. $1.2 million outstanding). The new meters are from Techline/Aara, which offers backward compatibility and local hardware support. The cost is significantly lower than initial quotes due to direct negotiation.

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