From the meeting
The 2027-2031 CIP carried a $15 million South Fire Station project for the developing south part of the city. The justification said the farther southwestern and southern areas had challenges meeting the eight-minute drive time goal from the Central Fire Station, and that continuing Station 4 did not provide sufficient value. The plan showed construction in 2031 and funding from state grants.
Decision state: planning only.

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