From the meeting
The Assistant Chief said the in-house paging system failed again and is at end of life because the company is out of business and no longer supports it. Staff will research more options. That makes this an open replacement need for a communications system, with timing driven by obsolescence and lack of vendor support.

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