From the meeting
The fire department asked for $25,000 to replace firefighter pagers, noting the current units were bought in 2017 and are becoming unreliable. Frank Hanson, Fire Chief, said 45 pagers with chargers would be needed and each new pager would carry a 3-year warranty. The need is immediate but still part of the 2027 CIP rather than a completed buy.
That makes this a short-cycle equipment opportunity with a clear quantity and spec hint.

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.
