From the meeting
The Purchasing Committee recommended going out for a COPS Microgrant with no required city match for officer recruitment, hiring, retention, and professional development. This is a grant-funded public safety staffing and training signal, not a contract award. The city is still at the application stage, so the next step is securing the grant before any funded activities move forward.

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