From the meeting
The administrator reported that Baxter & Woodman submitted the Elwood Area Bike Connector ITEP application in September. The project links O'Connor Park and the Mill Race footbridge and was planned in three phases: about $335,000 for design, about $600,000 for bidding documents, and construction funding through ITEP. The memo said Phase 1 and Phase 2 were 100% federally funded through FLAP, while Phase 3 still needed ITEP funding with a 20% local match.
Decision state: grant application submitted and funding still being pursued.

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 City of Wilmington issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Wilmington'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 City of Wilmington 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.
