From the meeting
At the August 18, 2026 meeting, the township reported that negotiations were continuing on the new contract with the Bemidji Regional Fire Assn. The item also noted a potential new station at the airport and a 7%-8% cost increase next year. The contract is not yet settled, so this is follow-on intelligence for the fire service provider and related project planning.

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.
