From the meeting
The board received an update on the Michigan Broadband (MBBS) telephone system backup issue after the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) closed the complaint. The short-term fix is to let residents revert to the copper line system, and the long-term fix is a redundant loop power supply back to the main office in Carney. This is useful incumbent intelligence because the township has already identified a resilience gap and a path forward.

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.
