THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Winter Park has been awarded a Colorado DOLA Best and Brightest fellowship grant to fund a full-time graduate intern for two years. The town must match at least $60,000 toward salary and benefits, with DOLA also funding training, travel, and completion stipends. The intern will rotate across departments and support projects like building code updates for thermal energy networks, deed restriction monitoring, and climate action work, creating upcoming needs for training, conferences, and specialist support around these initiatives.
DOLA provides $2,000 per year for training and travel plus a $6,000 total completion stipend for the intern; council had previously indicated approval of staffing changes including this intern.

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