From the meeting
At its October 26, 2026 meeting, the council considered an ordinance to clarify the City Traffic Engineer's authority and formally tie the role to Vision Zero safety work. The bill was scheduled for a vote and not yet decided in the agenda. It matters because it reinforces who drives roadway safety policy inside SDOT and could shape future safety projects and procurement priorities.

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