From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 public hearing, Council heard about the MDNR land conversion tied to the sale of City-owned property beneath Fricano's deck along the Manistee River. The City identified an undeveloped City-owned parcel on Ninth Street as replacement land, and the proposal was to dedicate it for recreational use and develop a neighborhood pocket park. The later staff memo said the site would have benches, signage, a Little Free Library, a bike rack, native plantings, and a pathway.
The item was informational and no action was required at the hearing.

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