From the meeting
At its August 10, 2026 meeting staff presented playground equipment proposals from Bars Recreation and GameTime, with a third vendor proposal still pending. Bars Recreation was about $191,000 including tax, and GameTime was quoted at $122,000. The council did not pick a vendor; it asked for a firm Phase 1 budget and more comparable proposals at the next meeting.
That keeps this as an active buying discussion around a future playground phase.

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