From the meeting
The packet showed three quotes for Neptune MIU endpoint and antenna installation, which means the city had not yet fully committed before the award agenda item. Ferguson Waterworks quoted $76,250 and Concord Utility Services quoted $85,350 for the same 1,000-unit scope that Golden Meters later won at $57,000. For a vendor, the quotes show pricing pressure, scope, and the citywide AMI rollout context.
This is useful incumbent and competitive intelligence around a decided-but-still-active utility implementation.

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