From the meeting
The Commission received a commercial corridors update focused on business development, a Memorial Day Business Bash, and planned networking events in the early fall. Staff also discussed holding networking events or educational seminars and asked for future agenda discussion of a virtual walk-through of Village businesses. This is a soft business-development signal rather than a procurement, but it shows the Village is actively shaping outreach and engagement programming.

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