The 30-second brief
57 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Franklin County's meetings, most in professional services and public safety. The latest, from Oct 7: The commissioners scheduled a 911 Director item for an Equature contract at their October 7, 2026 meeting. The agenda does not show the scope, value, or whether Equature is the recommended vendor, so the decision is still pending the vote. This is a useful early signal for public safety communications or 911 technology follow-on work. The next decision point was the October 7 meeting.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Safety and Utilities.
Latest awards: Hundley, Jon for commissioners Discuss 911 Building Roofing Quote (Oct 2026) and Reedy Financial Group for council to Consider Reedy Financial Group Invoice ($5,126.90, Oct 2026).
