THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The city approved awarding the bid for five natural gas generators to Absolute Power for $270,000. These units will likely support critical facilities with backup power. Power system and facility vendors should track Absolute Power as the generator supplier and explore installation, maintenance, monitoring, and future resiliency projects tied to these assets.
Destination facilities for the generators are not named, but likely city buildings or pump stations.

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 Columbus issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Columbus's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.

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.
