From the meeting
The 2027 Police Department budget description said capital outlay included purchase of a boat, and that the boat would be funded through a Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grant. The note said DNR would pay 70% and the Town would pay 30% over a 5-year depreciation period. As of the October 13, 2026 budget document, this was still a budgeted, grant-backed purchase rather than an awarded contract.
The practical next discussion is with police leadership and the Town Board on boat specifications, grant compliance, and acquisition timing for 2027.

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