Pre-RFPPublic SafetyDetected Jun 16, 2026

The June 16, 2026 Middletown Borough Council agenda includes Resolution 2026-16 for acquisition of a fire rescue truck and Resolution 2026-17 for leasing that fire rescue truck. This indicates the Borough is formally moving toward procuring a new rescue apparatus and arranging its financing structure, but no specific vendor, chassis, or contract details are provided in the agenda itself. This is a strong pre-RFP signal for fire apparatus manufacturers, dealers, and public safety financing vendors, as the Borough will need to specify truck configuration, equipment, and funding terms before award.Vendors can help the Borough evaluate purchase vs. lease options, life-cycle costs, and NFPA-compliant configurations tailored to local response needs, positioning themselves ahead of a formal bid process.

Agenda lists both a purchase and a lease resolution, suggesting Council will choose or structure financing for the same rescue truck acquisition.
