From the meeting

The April 28, 2026 Fire Commission discussion showed concern that existing capital funds may not be enough for trucks because turnout gear, radios, and other equipment are using the fund. The city said it was levying additional fire capital funds above the $50,000 split in the contracts. The next contract is expected to spell out how the fire truck capital fund can be used, which makes the replacement budget and funding structure important to vendors tied to apparatus and equipment.

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