From the meeting
At the October 6, 2026 meeting the council packet included a proposal from DuBois & King, Inc. for electrical engineering services for a new fire alarm replacement system with voice evacuation at Barre City Hall. The proposed fee was $28,750 for design development, construction documents, bid services, and construction administration.
The proposal was valid until November 30, 2026, so the immediate decision point was whether to accept the design contract and move the fire alarm project toward bidding. The work is still in planning/design, not construction award.

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 Barre issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Barre'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 City of Barre before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
