From the meeting
The Finance Committee scheduled a request to approve a COPS Technology and Equipment Grant. The agenda does not name the dollar amount or the equipment scope, but it shows the city is pursuing grant-funded public safety technology. The item was on the October 12, 2026 agenda, so the next decision point was that meeting vote.

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.
