From the meeting
On October 20, 2026 the council was asked to fund a temporary subsidy for Catalina Transportation Services, Inc. after the company said it would discontinue taxi service on October 19, 2026. The proposal would pay up to $17,000 per month for up to six months, or $102,000 total, subject to minimum service and reporting requirements.
Staff met with the owner on October 6 to explore ways to keep service operating. If approved, the city would be managing a short-term operating support agreement and may later revisit taxi permit and taximeter rules.

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