From the meeting
At its September 16, 2026 meeting the council authorized a Notice to Proceed with CommScope funding for the radio repeater project. The manager said the work is meant to improve radio coverage across the island after an RFQ drew no respondents, and the Rural Health Grant will hopefully fund it. The project includes a second antenna tower, a repeater at the west end of Beacon Hill, and radio updates as units reach end of life.

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