The report said Prime Site Hardware and SDM 3000 RTUs reach end of support in 2029, MCC7500 consoles in 2030, and D-series radios in 2032. 5 million in 2028 dollars.

This is a multi-year capital planning signal tied directly to a future vendor conversation.

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