Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected May 12, 2026

Supervisor Phoebe Sitterly and Councilwoman Louise Robusto reported speaking with a Vonage representative about a previously quoted price for a new phone system as well as the purchase of a new copier. The board agreed they are not ready to decide and asked Supervisor Sitterly to obtain an internet quote from Frontier, signaling that broader connectivity and telecom options are being evaluated. No vendor has been selected and the town is still in the information-gathering stage on both telephony and copier solutions.This creates a pre-RFP opportunity for phone system, unified communications, copier/MFP, and internet service providers to present right-sized solutions, updated pricing, and potential bundles before the board moves toward a formal procurement or selection.

Board explicitly deferred a decision, indicating the scope and vendor field may still be open.
