From the meeting
The town received one bid on the Home Run Baker Girl's Softball Field RFP from Keller Brothers for $670,000, but the council voted not to accept it. The town only has $190,000 in grant funding for the project, and the representative for the Little League is working with the funder on next steps and possible local contractor options. The work is still open, so the next sales conversation is about scope, funding fit, and alternative delivery paths.

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