From the meeting

The adopted 2027-2031 CIP includes a future Downtown Street Lights Upgrade estimated at $1,800,000. The packet says the existing lights are outdated, poorly lit, and not accessible, and that the project would improve visibility, safety, and walkability in the downtown area. It is listed as a future capital project, not yet procured.

This gives vendors a multi-year planning signal for lighting design, controls, and installation.

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 Ottawa issue an RFP for this project?

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Ottawa'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 Ottawa 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.
