From the meeting
The October 15, 2026 EMS budget listed account 280-17-52310-880 COMPUTER SOFTWARE at $12,000 for 2027 and named Watchguard in the note. The same row printed $18,000 under 2026 Budget, so the line decreased while still keeping the product funded. This was a named software line in the EMS operating budget rather than a new award.
It provides incumbent visibility and a point of contact for EMS software support or adjacent public safety systems.

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