From the meeting
On October 30, 2026, Police Chief Ryan Newell said the department was looking toward funding the second year of its Blue Voice AI program. He said the department could offset that cost by eliminating PMAM, an existing software program it currently uses, because the two programs overlap functionally. The plan would use existing contracted services funds and/or asset forfeiture funds.
Decision state: informational funding plan.

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