From the meeting
The administrator reported a kickoff meeting for the Small Communities Planning Program project for the 2050 comprehensive plan with Metro Council. The planning commission will be involved, and Met Council staff are expected to attend the October 7, 2026 meeting to review the process. This is early-stage planning that can lead to consulting, facilitation, mapping, and plan-development work.
No procurement was selected in the packet, but the city has a defined planning effort underway.

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