From the meeting
The city authorized submission of a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund time-sensitive land acquisition request for property tied to the Ashmun Creek Trail Project. Staff said the goal is to preserve the trail corridor, improve public access, and address parking limits, but the request does not itself authorize a purchase. The asking price was $22,000 and staff said it was also seeking outside match funding, including possible participation from the Sault Ste.
Marie Convention & Visitors Bureau. If the grant proceeds, the acquisition and final terms will return later for approval.

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.
