THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Board opened bids for a new backhoe and chose United Construction & Forestry’s John Deere 410P at a net price of $145,000 after trade-in. A competing Caterpillar 430 bid from Milton Cat at $171,500 was not selected. The award confirms United Construction & Forestry as the equipment vendor and signals future service, maintenance, and attachment needs over the backhoe’s life cycle, as well as Milton Cat’s loss for competitive intelligence.
Purchase is for a John Deere Model 410P backhoe, replacing a traded unit.

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