From the meeting
Playground equipment was listed under unfinished business, which signals an equipment need but no award or vendor selection yet. The agenda gives no dollar amount or scope, so this is still an open planning item. A seller would want to understand what equipment is being considered and whether funding is available.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
