From the meeting
At its September 3, 2026 meeting, staff discussed using remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money for a new 2-5 age playground area with turf surfacing. Recreation Concepts had already provided pricing, and Vice Mayor Newberry cited an estimated total of about $154,000. The board tabled the idea to compare it with other city needs, so the funding is still being allocated conceptually rather than committed.

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.
