273 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Carmel's meetings, most in information technology and parks & recreation. The latest, from Oct 26: The Board of Zoning Appeals scheduled Crew Carwash's request for three variances at 10580 N. Michigan Rd. The filing sought three accessory-structure signs, 100% wall-sign area, and an electronic message board. Molly Pedersen of Sign Craft filed the case on behalf of Crew Car Wash. The hearing on October 26, 2026 is the decision point, and the project points to near-term sign fabrication and installation if the variances are granted.
