Active OpportunityPublic SafetyDetected Jun 23, 2026

The June 23, 2026 Town of Clinton Selectmen agenda lists “Propane Proposals for new Fire Station” as an action item, indicating the town is actively seeking and considering proposals for propane service at its new fire station. This suggests a need for propane supply, tank(s), and related installation and service to support the station’s operations. The decision appears to still be in progress, with proposals under review and no selected vendor named in the agenda.This is a timely opportunity for fuel suppliers and mechanical contractors to provide pricing, installation, and service plans or position themselves for future expansions and maintenance once an initial award is made. Vendors may also be able to offer value-added services like monitoring systems or long-term supply agreements that appeal to the town.

Project is tied to the construction and commissioning of the new fire station, which is also listed under discussion as a Fire Station Update.
