THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Purchase of a temporary portable chiller for the municipal building.
The current chiller rental costs $38,000 per month. The original plan to repair the existing chiller failed due to parts unavailability (manufacturer out of business). The purchased chiller would be used until the full HVAC system replacement and then sold.

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