THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Police Department is applying to the Michigan DNR Snowmobile Law Enforcement Grant for about $19,914 to cover personnel, operations, PPE, and a new snowmobile with emergency electronics. The current 2008 Ski-Doo 550X unit is aging and costly, and if the grant is awarded, staff will return with procurement recommendations before purchasing the replacement sled and equipment. Snowmobile and emergency equipment vendors can engage early around specifications and pricing to be ready when the grant decision and procurement come forward.
The program reimburses 85% of eligible project costs; the replaced snowmobile is valued at $2,000 for grant purposes.

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.
