From the meeting
The council agenda scheduled approval to buy a new ExaGrid appliance unit from RKON because the existing backup appliance had outlived its 10-year life and no longer qualified for support and firmware updates. 67, below the $35,000 CIP amount. The item was pending the October 13, 2026 vote, and RKON was the sole-source provider named in the memo.

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