From the meeting
In public forum on October 20, 2026, Fire Chief Mike Kessel said he was looking at a fire truck costing between $100,000 and $150,000. Mayor Rick Boschee recommended that the finance officer help look for grants. The minutes do not record a purchase or award, only a future funding discussion tied to a fire truck need.
The item remained open after the meeting.

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 Bowdle issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Bowdle's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
