From the meeting
At its August 11, 2026 meeting the Fire Chief said the department is testing Firedex PFAS-free turnout gear on a new hire and estimated a full transition at about $250,000. The discussion indicates a phased replacement strategy, not a completed purchase. That creates a budget and product-selection signal for protective apparel and related equipment.

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.
