THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The City is ratifying authorization for ElectriCities to perform a wholesale electric rate study for $28,900 in response to planned Duke Energy wholesale and retail rate increases through FY29. The study will examine cost allocation among residential, commercial, and industrial customers and is expected to take 3–6 months. This signals active planning around rate design and may lead to future implementation of new rate structures, billing changes, and customer communications where IT, billing, and public outreach vendors can support the City.
Duke has a rate adjustment proposal before the NC Utilities Commission that could raise residential retail bills significantly; the study helps the City respond.

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