From the meeting
The 2027 budget added large public safety funding lines for the Sheriff and correctional facilities, including $100,000 for police equipment, $270,000 for sheriff vehicles, $2,000,000 for jail projects, and $330,000 for maintenance and service contracts in correctional facilities. The jail budget also carried $1,000,540 for doctor services and $675,000 for meals for prisoners. This signals ongoing operational and capital demand across jail and law enforcement functions.

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