From the meeting
At its September 14, 2026 meeting, the council approved replacement of the Master Control Panel (MCC) and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) at the water plant. The total project was capped at $300,000, with the VFD bid at $77,000 and the MCC at about $160,000. Two bids were received, from Bodine Electric and Keast Electric, and work was planned to begin in January or February to avoid the high-usage season.
This is a decided equipment replacement with follow-on installation and coordination work still ahead.

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 City of Gibson issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Gibson'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 City of Gibson 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 sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
