From the meeting
Scott Meinders said the county has had an excavator with repair issues for the last year and a half and found a 2024 replacement for $230,000 with a $82,000 trade-in. He said it will be on next week's agenda for approval, so the purchase was not yet approved at this meeting. The buying trigger is clear: the county is actively lining up equipment replacement and financing details.

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 Winnebago County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Winnebago County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
