The 30-second brief
37 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in River Forest Village's meetings, most in capital projects and public works. The latest, from Oct 26: At its October 26, 2026 meeting, the Village reviewed an intergovernmental agreement to expand the West Suburban Consolidated Dispatch Center. The agreement adds Elmwood Park and Rosemont, moves the center to a larger space in the Rosemont Municipal Complex, and coincides with a Computer Aided Dispatch and Record Management Software upgrade. The June 2026 grant award of $1.3 million was noted as support for consolidation costs. The effective date was expected to be December 1, 2026, so the useful sales signal is follow-on technology, staffing, and facility work around the expansion.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Environmental Services.
