From the meeting
At its September 21, 2026 meeting the council accepted a $5,000 donation from Air Products & Chemicals Inc. for Decatur Fire/Rescue. The money is earmarked to purchase equipment or supplies for fire response and the fire department budget was amended accordingly.
This is a small but concrete funding source tied to public safety equipment. Fire service vendors should note the department has fresh offset funding for response gear.

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.
When will City of Decatur issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Decatur's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
