From the meeting
Joint Parks & Recreation reported playground project funding of $199,044 and said a $5,000 ITC donation was in the works. It also said a Van Buren County Recreation Grant application for $25,000 was expected to be announced in December, with crowdfunding planned for spring near the build phase. This is an active funding stack for a park project that is still assembling money before construction.

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 Lawrence village'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 Lawrence village before the RFP is published?
