The 30-second brief
30 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Gaines County's meetings, most in information technology and transportation. The latest, from Nov 3: At the November 3, 2026 election, Seminole voters were asked to adopt a local sales and use tax at a rate of one-half of 1 percent to fund maintenance and repair of municipal streets. The measure was not a contract award, but it was a direct funding trigger for street work. If approved, it would create a clearer funding path for pavement maintenance, repair planning, and related public works spending.
