From the meeting
The 2027 capital list includes an $165,000 project to upgrade 25 radios to WisCom capabilities, plus an $8,000 intercept vehicle lease and $40,000 in restricted state, county, and donation funding. The budget shows the fire equipment work as planned capital, with the funding mix still being carried in the draft. This is an early signal for radio, vehicle, and public safety equipment vendors.
The next decision point is the November 17, 2026 budget hearing.

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.
When will City of Ashland issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Ashland's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Ashland before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
