What's planned

The Parks & Recreation Committee will discuss an OSLAD project, tied to Illinois’ Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development grant program. This points to planned park improvements or land acquisition funded by state grants. Scope and delivery details appear to still be in planning, creating needs for design, grant administration, and eventual construction and equipment purchases.

Background

OSLAD projects often cover playgrounds, trails, pavilions, and other park amenities.

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