From the meeting
At its October 19, 2026 meeting, the council endorsed a NYS DEC Community Reforestation Round 2 application to remove and control woody invasive plants in Bicentennial, Thompson, and Waterworks Parks. Staff said the city may seek between $300,000 and $500,000, with no match required, to fund mechanical and targeted chemical removal plus trees, shrubs, groundcover, tools, supplies, and staff costs. The City Forester will submit the application and would manage the project if awarded.

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 Watertown issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Watertown'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 Watertown 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.
