From the meeting
Brittni Rahmus with SEIRPC presented a grant opportunity for downtown building facade repair and restoration. The program can cover windows, doors, roof repairs, and other exterior blight work, with up to $650,000 available. Building owners were asked to leave their names and emails for follow-up.
This is still an open grant-funded initiative, and the next step is contact with interested property owners and the city.

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 Columbus Junction issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Columbus Junction'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 Columbus Junction 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.
