From the meeting
At the August 25, 2026 meeting, Councilmember Case raised the idea of installing a crosswalk with flashing lights near Lakewood Pines to improve trail access and safety. Public Works Director Grabe said earlier talks with Wadena County were hesitant because of Airport Road speeds and safety concerns. No project was approved, but the discussion shows a live traffic-safety need that could lead to design, engineering, or signal work if the city revisits it.

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