From the meeting
At its July 20, 2026 meeting, City Council approved an easement to Dominion Energy for electrical service to charging infrastructure at the Charlottesville Area Transit parking lot at 1545 Avon St Ext. The resolution said the City needed the easement so Dominion could provide power for CAT bus chargers and support the City's fleet electrification initiatives. Council's action authorized the existing easement and tied it to the bus charging system.
This was an approved utility-rights item connected to already selected charging work.

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