From the meeting
On October 19, 2026, the city received an invitation to join a third and final round of municipal solar projects. Staff said the POP Solar Rebate and tax incentives could cover about 90% of the cost, but the council first needed to decide whether to pursue the project and sign up for a bid. The email noted this may be the last chance to use current incentives before federal credits and Ottertail Power POP support decline.
The likely sites discussed were the central pump house/water tower or the public works shop/garage.

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