From the meeting
At its September 14, 2026 meeting, the committee reviewed recycling committee principles for the upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) for trash and recycling service. The discussion flagged town-funded curbside pickup, possible use of excess levy capacity, a possible shift to toters, and uncertainty over whether residents or the town will pay those costs. The item was scheduled for the Selectboard meeting the next day and remains open.

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