The 30-second brief
17 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Cedar County's meetings, most in public safety and capital projects. The latest, from Sep 8: At its September 8, 2026 meeting, Emergency Manager Kevin Garvin asked for permission to seek funding for a new drone, and the commissioners granted that permission. No vendor or price was named, so the work is still at the planning and funding stage. The buying trigger is now in place, and the next step is likely a funded specification or procurement path.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Works and Public Safety.
