From the meeting
At its October 22, 2026 meeting, the council considered a $25,000 budget amendment from the Equipment Internal Service Fund balance for a trailer-mounted portable pump. Public Works said the pump would provide supplemental pumping at Lawn Way during power outages, equipment failures, or heavy storm flows and could be used at other City locations. Staff compared seasonal rental cost of about $20,000 with a purchase cost of about $25,000.
The agenda item was scheduled for council action.

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