From the meeting
At its October 27, 2026 meeting, the Personnel Committee reviewed a proposed Encampment Engagement and Resolution Team pilot for Biddeford. The plan would rework the existing Police Department Community Liaison into a Housing Navigator and add an Encampment Compliance Officer reporting to Code Enforcement. Staff said FY27 funding would come from $25,000 set aside for homelessness program planning, $10,000 for contractor cleanups, and opioid settlement funds, with FY28 allocations to be set through the budget process.
Staff recommended approval and said the item would then go to Council for final approval.

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 City of Biddeford's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
