THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
For FY27 CIP, Spencer Fire Department compiled about $58,336 in building upgrades and selected multiple local vendors. Work includes replacing rotted windows, installing backup overhead heaters, painting and caulking exteriors, upgrading to online door locks, Woodman HVAC controls updates, and misc electrical fixes by TJohnson Electric. These are already vendor‑picked micro‑projects, but they reveal incumbent trades and a pattern of ongoing facility modernization where future phases, maintenance, or integrations could be pursued.
Door locks project moves to online prox/card system; Woodman controls are proprietary, indicating a locked-in controls vendor for the building.
