From the meeting
The council discussed complaints about train whistles and revisiting the issue with the railroad. Public Works Director Dan Gens said stopping the whistles would require more crossing infrastructure, including gates, fences, and extra signals, which would be expensive. No project was launched, but the conversation shows a future transportation and crossing-safety need that could become capital work if the city pursues it.

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.
