From the meeting
The council scheduled a grant agreement with the Iowa Economic Development Authority through the Community Catalyst and Remediation Grant Program for the Raphael's Emporium Project at 628 North Harrison Street. It also listed a development agreement with Vision 2021, LLC for use of Community Catalyst funds on the same project. The item points to a grant-backed redevelopment where the award and development terms were still moving through the council process.

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