THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Monticello Fire Department is authorized to purchase 10 new sets of NFPA-compliant bunker gear, including coats, pants, boots, gloves, helmets, and bullards, for a total of $54,440 from MES and Dinges Fire quotes. Most existing PPE is near the end of its 10‑year life, and the city and surrounding jurisdictions recently added a dedicated $75,000 annual levy for equipment replacement. The department also has an outstanding AFG grant request to fund 25 additional sets, pointing to ongoing PPE and apparatus procurement over the next several budget cycles.
New $75,000 annual levy from County/Townships/City dedicated to fire equipment; quotes show detailed pricing for up to 35 sets, indicating larger future order if AFG grant is awarded.

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