From the meeting
At the October 5, 2026 meeting, the council granted Verizon New England's petition for underground installation of cable and fixtures on Elder Ballou Road, Viva Way, Tara Lane, and Ledgewood Drive. The petition called for new 2-inch PVC conduit, handholes, and underground cable connections to support Rhode Island Broadband Initiative services. The Engineering Division found the plans acceptable, and the ordinance was adopted.
Decision state: approved.

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