From the meeting
TRPC reviewed a contingency proposal for Intercity Transit to replace part of the 27 Dial-A-Lift vehicles that will reach useful life in 2031. The request is for $1,297,500 and would support ADA-comparable paratransit service. The packet says TRPC has already funded Dial-A-Lift vehicles in 2018, 2020, 2024, and 2026, so this is a clear fleet replacement follow-on.
The useful life date gives a concrete future timing hook for replacement planning.

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 Thurston Regional Planning Council issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Thurston Regional Planning Council'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 Thurston Regional Planning Council 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.
