THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Gallup received about $895,000 from NMDOT to install two DC fast chargers (four ports total) at the George Galanis Multicultural Center downtown. Council is asked to authorize the City Manager to accept and execute the grant and adjust the budget for Project JU2603. Vendor selection for the chargers and backend software is still open, and the City expects a 90/10 revenue share with the equipment provider, creating a sizable EV infrastructure opportunity.
City Electric Department will handle much of site prep; Tourism Office will operate chargers and buy power from Electric Department. Convalt Energy is separately proposing a solar panel plant at Tradeport, which could be an adjacent opportunity.

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