From the meeting

At its October 27, 2026 meeting, the Town Council authorized Acting Town Manager Lauren Rhines to engage TLB Architects for construction documents and bid construction administration for the Chapman Street building project. The proposal covered Chapman Street Firehouse #3 historic restoration and upgrades at 2 Chapman Street. The approved fee was $61,650, with funding stated to exist in the CIP.

The memo said the project may later need additional funding because the remaining CIP balance would be about $230,000 versus a $475,000 probable cost estimate. Decision approved.

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.
