From the meeting
The commission was scheduled to consider a resolution authorizing the City of Helena to apply for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) on behalf of YWCA Helena. The project sought $750,000 from the Montana Department of Commerce for basement renovations at 501 North Park Avenue, including therapy space, multipurpose space, accessibility work, and related improvements. The packet also showed a much larger project budget of $1,312,000 and named private and foundation funding already in the mix.
A seller should view this as a live grant-backed community facility project with design and construction still ahead if funding is secured.

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 Helena issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Helena'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 Helena 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 unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified City of Helena decision-maker contacts.
