From the meeting
In the Village Manager's November 6, 2026 report, staff said it had been working with the Michigan Public Power Association on a proposal for a new electrical infrastructure project at the former Paw Paw Plating site. The project was described as a Behind-The-Meter-Generation project, or BTMG, intended to help control future electrical costs for customers. MPPA was scheduled to present at the November 23 meeting, with final recommendations expected in December 2026.
The expected decision path then called for a letter of intent by the end of January 2027 and participation agreement approval by the end of March 2027.

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 Paw Paw village issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Paw Paw village'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 Paw Paw village 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.
Where can I find more utilities government opportunities in Michigan?
