From the meeting
On September 16, 2026 the commission backed a future dog park at Bixby Park and directed staff to begin preparations for a 2027 build. Staff was told to obtain quotes, draft park rules, develop site preparation plans, and prepare budget materials. The project still depends on City Council approval of the 2027 budget, so the next decision point is funding and quote collection.

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.
