From the meeting
The mayor requested authorization for an intermunicipal agreement with the Town of Walpole and other Massachusetts municipalities for coordinated solid waste contract negotiations. Public Facilities and Finance had already approved the request on prior committee dates, so the city was moving into a coordinated negotiation phase rather than a new procurement. The signal is useful for waste haulers and related service providers watching the regional negotiation process.

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.
