From the meeting
The council authorized federal funding under Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5311 with the California Department of Transportation for fiscal year 2025-2026. This is a grant funding signal tied to transit operations or mobility support, but the packet does not state a dollar amount. The item shows the city was pursuing outside funding and had already moved into authorization, not early discussion.
Sellers should watch for the funded transit scope that follows grant approval.

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