THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Waterloo Fire Rescue presented a July 6, 2026 work session proposal to adopt the First Due public safety software ecosystem and expand its ITM compliance program. The quote shows a $89,775 annual subscription plus $11,850 implementation, with phased rollout starting in fall 2026 and a January 2027 fire‑side go‑live, while ESO ePCR is kept short‑term. Council approval is still pending, so this is an active planning stage where other RMS/ePCR vendors, integrators, and implementation partners can still influence scope, migration strategy, and funding structure.
Proposal includes consolidating ESO fire modules, inspections, training, personnel, and internal spreadsheets into First Due, while expanding ITM reporting (including extinguishers and egress lighting) and increasing report fees to offset costs.

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.
When will City of Waterloo issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Waterloo's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Waterloo before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more information technology government opportunities in Iowa?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces information technology pre-RFPs in Iowa as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
