THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Centralia Police Department received authorization via Resolution 2848 to waive bidding and buy one pre-owned Tesla Model Y from a Tesla dealership for up to $36,000, plus upfit and charging infrastructure for a total project cost of about $58,950 plus tax. The vehicle will replace a 2006 Chevy Impala detective car and will be funded through federal equitable sharing, not the general fund. This sets Tesla as a new EV supplier for the fleet, introduces Level 2 charging at the Mellen Street facility, and signals broader interest in electric administrative vehicles and supporting infrastructure.
Project includes $36,000 vehicle cap, $17,500 upfit, and $5,450 Level 2 charger at the Mellen facility, funded by Equitable Sharing Fund 113.

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 Centralia issue an RFP for this project?
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.
