From the meeting
At its October 27, 2026 meeting, the council was asked to grant the City Administrator authority to enter an intergovernmental agreement with the Orland Fire Protection District for interim fire chief services. The memo said Fire Chief Gary Kasper would retire on October 30, 2026 and the Deputy Chief position was vacant, creating an immediate leadership need during the recruitment period for a permanent chief. The district said it could provide up to 30 hours per week in person and 24-hour availability at about $106 per hour, with final ratification set for the November 10, 2026 council meeting.

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 Oak Forest's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
