From the meeting
At its October 14, 2026 council discussion, Bend sought direction on expanding defensible space requirements to reduce wildfire risk. The city is weighing whether to refine the existing Flammable Vegetation Code or move to broader rules for new, existing, and vacant properties. Staff also flagged a need for additional staffing, budget, and possible grant support before full implementation.
This is an open policy-shaping effort before any detailed rollout.

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