From the meeting
At its October 21, 2026 special session, the council discussed the Water Park Committee's interest in forming an independent 501(c)(3) to pursue donations and grants. Members reviewed existing City-held donations, possible grant matching funds, and Local Option Sales Tax funds, but no final decisions were recorded. They agreed to gather survey estimates for the proposed site and revisit project costs and the grant opportunity at the November 2 meeting.
Further public input and lighting estimates were also discussed.

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 Newell'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 Newell before the RFP is published?
