From the meeting
The Economic Development and Planning Committee recommended that the City Council initiate a zoning ordinance amendment to remove 6 Riverside St, the historic Rev. Convers Francis House, from the Watertown Square by-right Transit-Oriented Development Overlay District. This is a land-use trigger rather than a direct purchase, but it can shape future redevelopment options at the site.
The item is being brought forward for council consideration. No vendor is named.

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