From the meeting
The Water Utility asked council to reallocate $30,000 from a completed or canceled capital equipment item, the 2026 #E429 wheel loader, to buy a new forklift. Staff said the forklift was needed after completion of the new Myrick garage and would serve three buildings and a new racking system. This was a budget move, not a solicitation, and it pointed to a near-term equipment purchase decision.

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 La Crosse issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of La Crosse'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 La Crosse before the RFP is published?
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.
Where can I find more equipment government opportunities in Wisconsin?
