From the meeting
The council considered responses to the request for proposals (RFP) for a City Manager Search, but the item was deferred. That means the selection decision is still open and the city has not completed the search process. This remains an active professional services opportunity tied to executive recruitment.

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.
