From the meeting
Kern COG asked member agencies to email sustainable community project ideas and technical assistance requests by October 2, 2026, including a preliminary scope and budget. The program provides technical assistance, grant writing help, modeling, GIS mapping, and other planning support for projects that can advance SB 375 goals. This is an open planning signal with a near-term intake date and a clear route for agencies to seek funded support.

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 Kern COG issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Kern COG'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 Kern COG 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 sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more grants government opportunities in California?
