The grant closes August 31 and covers 40% of costs up to $10,000, with city staff also comparing proposals from Nicholas Kimball and Ethereal Lens Media for the social media package. The buying signal is the grant-funded marketing campaign and the pending selection of a content provider.

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