THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The board will receive an update on the Leola Data Center at the July 6, 2026 commission meeting. The agenda does not show any specific decision or contract yet, suggesting ongoing planning or implementation. IT, power, cooling, or security vendors may find this useful as the county clarifies scope and future needs; a next step is learning what infrastructure or services the data center still lacks.
Agenda item is listed as "Leola Data Center-Update on the Data Center" with no further detail, indicating an informational briefing.

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.

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