From the meeting
At its October 13, 2026 meeting the Select Board warned a special town meeting article asking voters to authorize up to $855,000 for a fire pumper truck for the Northfield Fire Department. The public hearing was set for October 27, 2026 and the ballot vote for November 3, 2026. This is still a live funding decision, not a purchase yet.
A fire apparatus vendor should track the vote and the department's specs.

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