THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Smithfield Volunteer Fire Department requested County help with $12,000 in vehicle maintenance cost overruns and $15,000 in repairs to a firefighting boat acquired from the City of Hampton. The Board transferred $27,000 from the Unassigned Fund Balance to the FY2025–26 operating budget for these repairs. While this funding covers current needs, it signals aging fleet and marine assets, opening future opportunities in apparatus maintenance, parts, and replacement planning.
Funds are for specific repairs this fiscal year; no vendor names or contracts are provided.

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.
