From the meeting
The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection approved the state's first Zone 0 defensible space standards in August, and the report said the rule still needed Office of Administrative Law review and publication before it formally took effect. The standards apply to new construction immediately once effective and phase in over three and five years for existing homes. Local jurisdictions may adopt alternative standards with fire-agency coordination and council or board approval.
Decision state: approved pending final rulemaking.

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