From the meeting
At its September 28, 2026 meeting, the council considered an e-bike safety ordinance that would set operating rules for electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and micromobility devices. The ordinance also set 15 mph speed limits on multi-use paths and 12 mph on non-paved trails, and authorized the mayor to place signs or markings. This is a policy and enforcement trigger tied to trail management, signage, and public safety operations.

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