From the meeting
The October 6, 2026 packet included a memorandum of understanding with Dakota State University for the SecureSD Cybersecurity program. The city said this was the start of a state grant process and that it would receive a significant cybersecurity upgrade. The agreement says SecureSD is funded by a $7,000,000 legislative appropriation and runs through 6/30/28.
The city must complete a security assessment and work with selected providers, so there is follow-on implementation and services opportunity.

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