From the meeting
Council was told broader defensible space requirements would need more staffing and sustained support. Staff presented options ranging from existing resources to expanded investment, with dedicated funding described as necessary for education, technical assistance, compliance, and support programs. This is a budget and organizational commitment question, not a completed procurement.
The commercial signal is that staffing and support capacity may be funded before enforcement expands.

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