From the meeting
The fire department said its 18-year-old engine is still being evaluated for replacement, and the board discussed a new engine that was started but not wanted from the factory. 1 million, about $200K less than the alternative mentioned. This is a buying signal, but no purchase was approved in the minutes.
The next useful conversation is around the exact spec, timing, and whether the factory-started unit becomes the selected path.

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