From the meeting
The September 18, 2026 agenda included a collection development and AI discussion plus annual reports on reference and technology services. The Reference Committee said it would continue discussing AI's impact on reference work and would compare current reference service models across member libraries this fiscal year. This is an open planning signal around service redesign, staff training, and digital reference tools, not a solicitation yet.

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 Monterey Bay Area Cooperative Library System issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Monterey Bay Area Cooperative Library System'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 Monterey Bay Area Cooperative Library System 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.
