From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 meeting, the city reviewed a Fiscal Year 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) application for a variable message board radar trailer. The eligible grant amount was $24,363. The trailer would add speed enforcement and traffic safety messaging capacity alongside the city's two existing radar trailers.
Council action was needed to approve the project and move to award acceptance if the grant is approved.

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 Lakewood issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Lakewood'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 Lakewood 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 sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
