From the meeting
The October 20, 2026 minutes and the attached October 14, 2026 memo laid out Fire Department staffing needs for FY28. The Town discussed adding one Firefighter/EMT immediately, with a longer-term goal of five additional Firefighter/EMTs total, tied to the Fire Department Staffing Study by consultant John Parow. The memo said the restoration scenario would fund one additional Firefighter/EMT at $147,474 and the full version would add four more at $589,896.
The final staffing decision was still being shaped as part of the override and budget guidance process.

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