From the meeting
At the September 2, 2026 meeting, Assistant City Administrator Aaron Berg reported a vacancy in the city's planning office after the City Planner resigned. He asked commissioners to share the employment opportunity with qualified individuals. The report did not name a replacement or any procurement action, but it did identify a current staffing gap in the planning function.

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.
