From the meeting
At its September 22, 2026 meeting, Council supported a request to keep the Ontario Community Infrastructure Fund (OCIF) doubled beyond 2026. The staff report said OCIF had been increased from $200 million to $400 million per year for 2021-2026 and that MFOA wanted the higher level made permanent before the 2027 allocation calculations. The report tied the request to infrastructure renewal backlogs and asset management planning.
Carried.

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