From the meeting
The FY 2026 CDBG public facility packet included a proposed security systems project for the Lorain Historical Society's Moore House and Carnegie Center. The scope was modern internet protocol video surveillance systems at both sites, new network infrastructure at the Moore House, and an access control system for the back door at Carnegie Center, with $16,250 requested. The notes said BCT Alarm Services, Inc.
currently provides security and monitoring services at both properties, and the packet also said the project was not ultimately scored. Decision state: denied/not considered in the scoring process.

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 City of Lorain issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Lorain'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 City of Lorain 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 sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
