From the meeting
The FY2027 operating budget includes $325,000 for fuel and $686,250 for electricity, with water and septic also increasing to $74,675. These are ongoing utility cost lines for the senior high and junior high schools, not a contract award. The numbers suggest the district is planning for higher facility operating costs in the next fiscal year.
Sellers should track whether the district later seeks efficiency, controls, or facility upgrades to offset these costs.

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