From the meeting
The board was set to approve a capital purchase of four Festo Hydraulics Trainers and four Festo Pneumatics Trainers with accessories from Advanced Technology Consultants, Inc. The amount was not to exceed $499,884. The source says the equipment will replace aging instructional gear and expand fluid-power training capacity for the Electro-Mechanical Technology program.
This is a decided purchase, but it also signals ongoing curriculum and lab-equipment expansion tied to Festo.

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.
