From the meeting
At the October 13, 2026 meeting, the council approved Resolution 26-045 to purchase a new brush truck early, before the normal budget timeline. Fire Chief Graham said the un-equipped apparatus would cost approximately $372,000 and the completed purchase was projected to be about $60,000 below the $500,000 budget estimate. Funding would come from public safety 2B funds.
The truck was intended for future Fire Station No. 4.

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