From the meeting
In the October 13, 2026 weekly report and council comments, staff said the town was still working on the Public Service Commission smart meter opt-out tariff, hearing, and billing processes. The council discussed whether to continue pursuing the monthly opt-out fee and asked staff and counsel to explore options before the PSC decision expected in December 2026. This is an open utility-rate and billing policy issue with active legal work underway.

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