The 30-second brief
44 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Adair County's meetings, most in public works and information technology. The latest, from Sep 23: County Engineer Nick Kauffman brought forward a resolution to set a public hearing on contract documents for the NW20 Grand River RCB Culvert Project. The item was on the September 23, 2026 agenda, so the hearing and contract documents were still in the pre-award stage. That makes the project actionable for civil, culvert, and construction bidders tracking county infrastructure work.
