From the meeting
The October 28, 2026 director's report said the library was creating a ghost hunting kit for the Library of Things after a paranormal program highlighted the equipment used by Jason and Michelle Bertram. The report said the kit was being put together with Jason Bertram of Paranormal of Wisconsin and the Friends of the Library. The item was discussed as a new collection addition, with the source describing the work as ongoing rather than completed.

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 Merrill issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Merrill'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 Merrill 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.
Where can I find more grants government opportunities in Wisconsin?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces grants pre-RFPs in Wisconsin as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
