The 30-second brief
3 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Westside's meetings, most in capital projects and administration & finance. The latest, from Oct 12: The council scheduled a public hearing on Resolution 2026-10-01 to dispose of real estate. The agenda does not name the property, buyer, or reuse plan, and it does not record a decision. The item matters because a pending property disposition can lead to surveying, legal, appraisal, closing, or redevelopment-related work. The hearing date is the next decision point.
Infrastructure & Maintenance leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Equipment and Administration & Finance.
Latest awards: Larson Engineering for larson Engineering to Discuss School Improvements (Oct 2026) and JEO for JEO to Provide Westside Bridge Project Update (Oct 2026).
