From the meeting
The commission reviewed a year of Eversource bills and discussed using the meters with the highest demand charges to evaluate peak shaving opportunities and potential battery grants. Mr. Bandazian said there are no future solar projects to discuss, and the town has no capital reserve fund for grant matching.
The discussion also noted that the budget leaves little latitude and that the motorized-equipment capital plan lacks funding for DC fast chargers. No procurement was authorized.

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