San Luis Obispo County is developing a competitive RFP for ground ambulance transport, potentially releasing it in late January 2027 if the state approves. Supervisors will first compare competition with amendments to the incumbent contract, leaving providers to prepare for either outcome.
The Village of Endicott selected Troon to manage En-Joie Golf Course under a five-year agreement beginning in 2027, following an RFP that attracted four proposals. A separate irrigation replacement estimated at up to $8 million is not yet solicited; the village plans to pursue grants, with work at least three years away and ownership and funding responsibilities disputed.
Red Bluff City Council is considering whether to continue or terminate its five-year automated license plate reader contract with Motorola Solutions–Vigilant; termination would cost $21,455. The council may also change data-sharing policies and rules for cameras operated by the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office, creating potential implications for service continuity, system requirements, and future competition.
Flock Safety pitched Maine departments ALPR packages priced at $11,000 in Short Sands Beach and $8,200 in Ogunquit, but the reported proposals are not confirmed awards. Privacy and data-sharing concerns, Falmouth’s 10-year Axon agreement, and York’s November 3 referendum may shape future municipal camera procurements.
The Massachusetts Senate Committee on Ways and Means advanced S.3290, a FY2026 closeout budget proposing higher municipal purchasing thresholds, streamlined cooperative purchasing, and a snow-hauling procurement exemption. The bill also includes $159.8 million for MassDOT snow and ice removal and $2 million for municipal public-safety assistance, but neither figure represents an announced contract award; the measure remains subject to Senate action.
