From the meeting
1 million vehicle replacement plan for 2027 to address an aging fleet averaging about 17 years old. The funding concept combined about $321,000 from the existing capital equipment account with available FEMA reimbursement funds, with enough to buy the first five vehicles outright and make a down payment on a sixth. Staff said the Fiscal Office was reviewing the remaining FEMA reimbursement balance, and if more funds were available the town might buy all six without financing.
The item was discussed at the August 10, 2026 meeting.

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.
