From the meeting
The county sought authorization to execute a Broadband Ready Communities grant amendment on a very quick turnaround. The amendment added up to $400,000 for senior devices and STEM lab equipment, with the State of Tennessee ECD saying funds needed to be spent by 10/31 or possibly 11/15. The underlying grant runs through 10/31/2026 and includes digital skills training, participant devices, IT support, and related outreach.

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.
