THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Purchase of a new storage system for the Fire Chief's vehicle, including a topper and a slide-out unit, to replace a leaking tano cover and protect equipment.
The current cover leaks, saturating equipment. The new system needs to accommodate SCBAs and other equipment. Quotes are being gathered, with an estimated range of $5,000 to $9,000. The purchase would likely require multiple estimates due to being under $25,000.

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.
