From the meeting
Dakota County included Parks Without Barriers: An Outdoor Accessibility Initiative in its October 13, 2026 grant request to the Metropolitan Council. The proposal is a Lebanon Hills Regional Park pilot and calls for a consultant to review the existing facility audit, conduct an outdoor audit, and support access improvements at bathrooms, the beach, playgrounds, campsites, and fishing areas. It also calls for adaptive equipment, training, accessible wayfinding, and pre-visit information.
The county requested up to $500,000 and said it would come back to accept funds and execute grant agreements if awarded.

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.
When will Dakota County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Dakota County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Dakota County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified Dakota County decision-maker contacts.
