THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Purchase Order #2027-026 with an accompanying agreement lists Hertrich Chevrolet for an animal control van at $48,700.00. This reflects investment in specialized vehicles for animal services. Vendors offering animal control equipment, vehicle upfitting, containment systems, and fleet management tools can see this as a signal of active replacement and potential future needs as the animal control fleet modernizes.
Specialty upfitting for animal transport is likely needed though not detailed in the agenda.

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 Caroline County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Caroline County'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 Caroline County before the RFP is published?
