From the meeting
At the October 19, 2026 meeting, the Selectmen discussed a recommended direction for the Memorial Firefighters Fund. The recommendation was to establish the scholarship as a Town-owned, nonlapsing restricted municipal fund through a Special Town Meeting, with the Treasurer keeping a separate scholarship account or general-ledger fund. The Selectboard would approve fundraising activities and final awards, while an advisory committee would review applications and make recommendations.
Decision state: discussed, with further action next week.

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 Searsmont's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Town of Searsmont before the RFP is published?
