From the meeting
On August 12, 2026 Supervisor Lewis said the town had secured a 90-day extension from Ag and Market to keep working on the Dog Shelter update. He said plans still need to be finalized before they are handed to an architect, and more extensions may be needed. The SOPs are still with the state, so the project remains in early planning with design work not yet started.

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 Town of Portland issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Portland's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
