From the meeting
On November 10, 2026, Council approved the Fire Department's three-year transition from a 24/48 schedule to a 24/72 schedule. The plan begins with an appropriation of $59,063 from the Management Consultant account to hire three firefighters, who are expected to start in April 2027. Staff also said the next phase would be finalized during the FY2028 budget process, and the City would reapply for a SAFER grant to fund four positions in a later phase.
The resolution was adopted on November 10, 2026.

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 City of Hopewell's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
