From the meeting
At its October 28, 2026 meeting, the committee retained the LMS solar array and energy storage system purchase as Necessary and kept it scheduled for 2031. Ms. Darling said the six-year savings period would begin once the entire solar project, including the battery storage system, was operational.
Members noted continued installation delays, uncertainty about delivery and fabrication of battery components, and concerns about the system's age by the time the purchase occurs. The motion carried 5-0-0.

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