The council agenda scheduled Action Item #6687/26 for the SmartNet renewal. The item was listed under communications from the city manager and was accompanied by a resolution, but the agenda did not name a vendor or term. The meeting date was October 28, 2026, so the decision point was that council vote.
End state: scheduled for consideration, not yet decided in this document.

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.
When will City of Newport issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Newport'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 City of Newport before the RFP is published?
