From the meeting
The council authorized a SEEDS Site Assessment Grant application for due diligence tied to the future acquisition of about 125 acres for Bessemer National Airport expansion. The application is for $238,590 and carries a required local match of $119,295 if awarded. The work includes appraisals, environmental assessments, surveys, title work, engineering evaluations, and geotechnical investigations.
This is an open planning signal around future airport land acquisition and related consulting work.

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