THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Centralia is replacing its aging 1997 Champion street motor grader with a used 2021 LeeBoy grader from Papé Machinery for $199,531.58 via a Washington DES master contract. Funding comes from the Street Department equipment reserve, which the city notes is underfunded and will need replenishment in 2027–2028. This confirms Papé as the incumbent supplier and signals future fleet replacement and reserve-funding discussions for additional heavy equipment.
Purchase uses WA DES Master Contract 28523. Quote shows a 2021 LeeBoy G700B grader with attachments and refurb work included.

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 Centralia'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 Centralia 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.
