From the meeting
At its November 2, 2026 meeting, the Select Board was asked to recognize Expanded Accessible Transportation (EAT) as a Town priority and support staff advancing two FY2028 paths: a MassDOT Community Transit Vehicle Grant path and a Town-funded vehicle path if grant funding is unavailable or delayed. The proposal calls for a wheelchair-accessible Type A minivan, a driver working 26 hours per week, and a one-time parking lot shelter. The report says final appropriations, procurement, and operating policies would still follow Town processes.

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 Town of Bedford issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Bedford'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 Town of Bedford before the RFP is published?
