From the meeting
CMELD listed Verizon's FCC submission to shut down land lines and asked about possible ramifications. The item is a public update, but it signals a telecommunications change that could affect service continuity and replacement planning. A seller should track whether CMELD needs migration support, voice alternatives, or contract changes after the shutdown decision.

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