From the meeting
The council was scheduled for first reading and approval of Resolution 335-26 to spend 4B revenues over $10,000 on an economic development grant to the Columbus Chamber of Commerce. The grant would fund music, sound, and stage expenses for the 2027 Magnolia Days Festival. That makes the Chamber and event production vendors relevant now, even though the vote had not yet occurred.

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 Columbus'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 Columbus before the RFP is published?
