From the meeting
The council discussed buying a snowplow package for the City's existing side-by-side, including a poly cab enclosure, heater kit, and snowplow. Public Works Director Jay Sarff said the original estimate was $9,000, but the current cost had risen to about $15,500 and enough equipment budget remained. He also said John Deere offered an alternate 2024 side-by-side for $17,000 with a $10,000 trade-in allowance, plus a $5,000 snowplow package, for about $12,000 out of pocket.
No vote was recorded on the purchase.

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