THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
WestCOG and The Nature Conservancy are planning an Urban Forestry Peer Exchange for late September or October, with a kickoff meeting held July 14. The event will convene urban foresters and municipal staff to share best practices, discuss initiatives, and explore grants and technical resources for tree canopy and green infrastructure. While not a direct procurement, it offers a networking venue for arborist firms, urban forestry consultants, and green infrastructure providers to connect with municipalities that may later seek project partners.
TNC is sponsoring Peer Learning Exchanges and encouraging organizations to contact Arcadia Davies for involvement.

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 South Western MPO issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks South Western MPO'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 South Western MPO 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 unlocks this pre-RFP's source document, forecasted RFP timing, and verified South Western MPO decision-maker contacts.
