From the meeting
Public Works proposed a $50,000 automated gate and fee collection system with security cameras at the brush site. Shane Stefanick, Public Works Director, said the system would let the city charge for use, extend hours, and avoid adding staffing. The plan was shaped after another municipality reported a strong return on investment from a similar system.
This is an open project concept with clear operational and revenue goals.

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