From the meeting
The council was asked for input on creating a joint powers authority with the Merced County Office of Education to finance critical infrastructure for the Virginia Smith Trust development. The concept would use land-secured financing and a community facilities district for roads, water, sewer, dry utilities, and possibly park and school improvements. This was still in the planning stage, but it points to a future financing and special tax consultant process plus major infrastructure scope.

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 Merced issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Merced's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
