The 30-second brief
137 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Forest Grove's meetings, most in professional services and transportation. The latest, from Oct 26: Public Works said the city wanted to finish design for the Mountain View Lane/TV Highway Safe Routes to School project. The project was already in the citys 3-year action plan, with a 2027 target year. That makes this a near-term funded design and delivery item rather than a general discussion. The next useful seller conversation is about design support, traffic safety, and delivery timing.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Grants.
