From the meeting
The IT lead added protective measures on the Coldwater Branch router to help with AI and malicious traffic because that branch hosts the library web site. The work was done during a holiday weekend and appears to be an in-house security update rather than a purchase. It signals ongoing network hardening and possible follow-on needs for router, firewall, or web security support.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Branch District Library's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
