The 30-second brief
48 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Ephrata's meetings, most in professional services and information technology. The latest, from Oct 7: At the September 16, 2026 meeting, the council approved an amendment for FEMA flood hazard mitigation planning work. Staff said the project would update flood plain maps, remove the southern portion of town in about two years, and affect other areas over 10 to 15 years. The packet frames this as the first step toward the actual work, so it is useful for follow-on engineering and grant-support conversations.
