Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 16, 2026

The June 16, 2026 Prospect Heights Fire Protection District agenda lists a dedicated "Tablet replacement discussion" under Old Business, indicating the district is actively evaluating how to replace its current tablets. In a fire/EMS environment, these tablets are typically used for incident response, ePCR, CAD access, inspections, and administrative work, so a refresh likely affects multiple stations and frontline apparatus. No specific purchase, vendor, or dollar amount is identified yet, which suggests the district is still in planning mode: assessing needs, timing, and funding in light of delayed property tax receipts noted in the Treasurer’s Report. This is commercially significant for hardware, mobile device management, rugged accessories, and public safety software vendors who can help shape the technical and financial options before an RFP or quote request is issued. A useful next conversation would be around lifecycle replacement planning, ruggedized tablet options, leasing vs. purchase, and support services that align with their budget and operational constraints.

Property tax installment delays may influence how and when the district funds the tablet replacement...
