From the meeting
Saint Paul's West Side Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Pedestrian Improvements Project was listed among the 2024 projects in final design. The slide said the project was expected to bid by the end of 2026 and build in 2027. That gives suppliers a clear pre-construction timing signal on an already-selected project.

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 Metropolitan Council issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Metropolitan Council'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 Metropolitan Council 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 transportation government opportunities in Minnesota?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces transportation pre-RFPs in Minnesota as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
