From the meeting
The October 19, 2026 budget report said the Fire Department wanted encrypted radio capabilities and discussed a $50,000 request. The item was still being debated and was not marked as a final purchase. The report frames this as a public safety communications need tied to the 2027 budget.
A vendor would want to track whether the city funds the encryption upgrade in the final budget.

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