From the meeting

At its October 6, 2026 meeting, the mayor and council sitting as a board of equalization levied special assessments for Business Improvement District No. 3. The district includes district advertising and marketing, legal notices, events, wayfinding signage, parking lot improvements, streetscape, lighting, beautification, art, and landscaping.

The assessment formula was set at $200 per $100,000 of valuation with a $750 cap per property per year. This is a funding signal for ongoing district improvements and related construction, maintenance, and reconstruction 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 Columbus's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
