From the meeting
The Water Department said the existing plans are about 20 years old and do not reflect the 2024 North Church Street water and sewer replacement project. It recommended extending the new 6-inch main from North Church Street into the building, with fire-suppression equipment and eight individual water services and meters in a utility room. The change is driven by fire-flow, maintenance access, and service reliability concerns.
A utility contractor or designer will likely need to revise the water service layout to match the Town's current conditions.

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.
