From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 budget meeting, the town reviewed Police Chief Karl Koch's 2027 priorities. He asked for funding for a third full-time officer or, if not funded, more part-time coverage; he also said bodycams need replacement in 2027 and the 2020 cruiser should be replaced in 2027 or 2028. The board deferred the staffing request for more public input and discussed re-aligning the cruiser replacement schedule before changing staffing.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Sandwich's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
