From the meeting
At the October 13, 2026 Public Safety Committee meeting, Fire Chief Ken Baier said the department had 500 feet of hose that failed testing. He noted some of the hose is extremely old and that the department budgets some hose replacement each year. This is a recurring equipment need tied to fire operations and future replacement spending.

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