From the meeting
At its October 27, 2026 work session, the City Council heard Fire Chief Gutierrez's proposal to purchase two new fire engines to replace aging apparatus and set a long-term replacement schedule. Engine 423 had recently been retired after more than 134,000 miles, and Engine 422 was undergoing frame rail replacement due to corrosion and was expected to move to reserve status. Council consensus was to proceed with putting the two fire apparatus purchases out to bid.

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