From the meeting
The council authorized a lease-purchase agreement with Government Capital Corporation to finance water meters, radios, equipment, and software for the water meter project. A preliminary term sheet in the packet put the project cost at $480,700 over five years. The packet also included Core & Main pricing for meters, radios, software, and ORBIS SmartCap hydrant caps, which signals an active implementation path.
Sellers in metering, radio, and utility software should treat this as a funded rollout with financing already being arranged.

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