From the meeting
The council was scheduled to authorize purchase of a Caterpillar 600 KW diesel generator through BuyBoard Cooperative Contract #788-25. That points to a planned power-resiliency or backup generation acquisition, with the purchase still awaiting the October 27, 2026 vote. The agenda did not state a price.

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.
