The city also planned up to $300,000 in repairs, maintenance, and renovation work across roofing, plumbing, lighting, HVAC, connectivity, elevator maintenance, pigeon deterrence, and ADA upgrades.

This is a real facility operations lead with a named nonprofit operator and a funded building refresh.

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.

How can vendors engage with City of Merced before the RFP is published?

Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
