From the meeting
At the September 30, 2026 Citizens Advisory Board meeting, Mayor Yoshiko Grace Matsui said the city was currently hiring a Director of Parks and Recreation. She linked the role to re-establishing senior services programs and facilities. That makes the hire a buying trigger for program planning, facility use, and potential related services once the new director is in place.

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