From the meeting
At the September 10, 2026 meeting, the board discussed new playground equipment and compared two vendors, Carolina Recreation and Design and Pro Playgrounds. Staff said the quotes include grading, installation, ADA compliance, equipment, benches, shade structures, and tandem swings. The board did not select a vendor and wanted more community input first.
This is still open and tied to a specific park build scope.

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.
