THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The library reported its aging server lost a hard drive and likely needs full replacement with a one-time request around $55K, plus ongoing software maintenance (Biblionics, OCLC, Envisionware) and firewall support. Hardware and licensing are currently handled internally but used/refurb equipment with warranties is being considered. IT and library tech vendors can discuss server and firewall solutions that fit this budget and integrate with citywide systems.
Custodial contract with Citywide Solutions may be put out to bid; library HVAC units are also reaching end of life.

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 City of Blair's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
