From the meeting
At its August 5, 2026 meeting, Mayor Laura Merchan said the city had contacted Linn County about the bridge. In 2026 they plan to contact landowners if more right of way must be purchased. In 2027 they will get bids, and in 2028 construction is expected to begin.
The work is still in long-range planning, but the right-of-way and bid timing define the next seller touchpoints.

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 City of Bertram issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Bertram'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 City of Bertram 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 unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified City of Bertram decision-maker contacts.
