From the meeting
Town staff flagged Fire Department Engine 3 as a special article for Town Meeting rather than an FY28 capital line. 1 million, with about $590,000 already in the replacement fund and roughly $510,000 still needed. The budget memo said the truck would be ordered in FY28 and delivered in about three years, around FY30.
Funding was still being developed and had not been authorized in this document.

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