THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
On May 19, 2026, Richmond City Council approved Contract 8491P for the supply and delivery of seven large fire apparatus for Richmond Fire-Rescue. The contract was awarded to Commercial Truck Equipment Co. for 12374460, with authority for up to 1313919 in contingency, for a maximum total value of 13688379 excluding taxes, and includes amending the fire vehicle replacement project scope to add two more units.
This decision confirms the incumbent supplier for this fleet cycle and signals a multi-vehicle replacement program that will run over several years. Vendors of apparatus components, communications gear, fleet telematics, maintenance services, specialized equipment, and training can still pursue subcontracting, integration, and lifecycle support opportunities around these new trucks, as well as positioning for future replacement and expansion phases once this contract term is complete.
Staff are authorized to approve change orders up to the contingency and to execute all related documentation with Commercial Truck Equipment Co.

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