[ARCHIVED] Fire Services Fiscal Review RFP - Almanac News Article

Today, the AlmanacNews released an article discussing the Town’s Fire Services Fiscal Review Study - Request For Proposal (RFP). The article is entitled, “Would it pay for Atherton to leave fire district?”

Below the article are a series of reader comments. When the RFP was released on February 27, the Town also added a project webpage to its website. The website contains some of the history related to the issue as well as a few links to related documents. That website can be accessed off the Town’s main webpage - on the left - or via this link. The website addresses a few of the comments under the article.

As the project moves along there may be other questions or FAQs that arise. I will monitor the article comment section and add any Q&A that is not already addressed via the project webpage. Feel free to send me an email at grodericks@ci.atherton.ca.us and I would be happy to address the question and post it to the website as an FAQ.

As the article mentions, proposals are due back by March 31. After review of any submittals, a recommendation will go to the Council - anticipated on April 19. The Council may, at that time, award a contract for the work, postpone award, reject all proposals and rebid, or decide not to move forward.
