From the meeting
At its October 19, 2026 meeting, the council authorized the mayor to enter a contingent-fee legal retainer agreement for PVC pipe antitrust litigation. The city solicitor said the city had reason to explore becoming a plaintiff and could retain counsel at no cost to investigate and prosecute potential claims. This is an active legal-services buying trigger with a named matter and clear outside-counsel need.

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.
