From the meeting
The consent agenda scheduled a resolution authorizing the upfit for lights and radios for six Ford Explorer PIUs for the Sheriff's Office under an exception to competitive bidding. Staff said the vehicles were already purchased through state pricing and that Western Carolina Communications Systems had been the sole bidder for the equipment for the past three years. The agenda is a pending vote, but the named incumbent and the regional Federal Signal and Kenwood equipment give a vendor clear follow-on and service context.

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