From the meeting
The Putnam Volunteer Fire Company reported that in May it submitted a FEMA grant application for $143,000 to purchase portable radios for firefighters to carry at the scene of emergencies. The report said the radios will replace older models that are not working or are incompatible with the new radio frequencies Washington County plans to switch to in coming years. No award had been received yet as of the report date.

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.
