From the meeting
At its September 17, 2026 meeting, the council approved Resolution No. 66 authorizing the purchase of a Caterpillar Model 305 Excavator with Flail Mower Attachment. The decision is already made, so this is an equipment acquisition and not an open bid.
The useful follow-on question is delivery, setup, and any maintenance or parts support around the Caterpillar unit.

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