From the meeting
The board reviewed a Textmygov proposal for a text-based emergency alert system costing $9,000 in the first year and $6,000 annually after that. Members said it was too expensive and wanted a lower-cost way to send mobile alerts during power and internet outages, including possible help from the county 911 center and 800-number texting services. The decision is still open, but the pricing and use case are now defined.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
