From the meeting
At the August 11, 2026 board meeting, Clerk Jenkins said the township's SonicWall remote-access firewall had been discontinued and would fall out of support. The board voted to forego the upgrade until a long-term IT services plan is decided. A request for proposals for IT services was planned for the October/November agenda, with a possible move to cloud-based services.

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