From the meeting
The Ferndale Public Schools Foundation requested $30,000 to launch free after-school athletics at all six elementary schools as part of the Ferndale Prevention Model. The budget covered coach stipends, athletic equipment, program coordination, and evaluation for the 2027-2028 school year. The proposal was still an annual grant request, but it names the schools, the activity model, and the planned first-year rollout.

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 Ferndale issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Ferndale'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 Ferndale 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.
