From the meeting
The city has maintained an aggressive apparatus replacement program and CPSM said it was a best practice. Since 2020, Bethlehem appropriated $8,597,000 for major fire apparatus replacements. The report also flagged routine replacement planning for command, staff, and utility vehicles.
The next conversation is about the remaining replacement schedule and future capital needs.

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.
