From the meeting
The court scheduled approval of Utility Permit Application 26-120 for Caprock Telephone Cooperative Inc. to install 57,495 feet of underground fiber optic cable on E CR 5200 with 5 crossings in Precinct 3. This is a utility placement and right-of-way action, not a county purchase.
It still signals a live broadband buildout in the county.

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 Lubbock County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Lubbock County'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 Lubbock County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified Lubbock County decision-maker contacts.
