THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Chesapeake Council approved a Facilities Use Agreement with Chesapeake Amateur Radio Service to coordinate and share communications resources during disasters. This formalizes use of amateur radio infrastructure alongside city systems for emergency response. Radio/communications and emergency management vendors should note this partnership for integration work, training, and future upgrades to ensure interoperability between city systems and volunteer radio capabilities.
Focus is coordination and shared use of communications resources for disasters and emergencies; may drive needs for equipment compatibility, exercises, and planning tools.

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 Chesapeake issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Chesapeake'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 Chesapeake 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.
