The 30-second brief
4 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Pend Oreille County Public Utility District 1's meetings, most in information technology and legal & compliance. The latest, from Oct 20: The commission scheduled Action Item #2 on a fiber broadband service contract for NoaNet, and Action Item #3 appears to repeat the same contract item. The agenda does not name a selected vendor or show final approval, so the contract was still pending at the October 20, 2026 meeting. That pending vote is the key buying point for the broadband provider and any related implementation support.
Information Technology leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Administration & Finance and Capital Projects.
Latest awards: NOANET for PUD to Consider Second Fiber Contract with NoaNet (Oct 2026) and NISC for PUD Expands Use of NISC iVUE Connect Software (Sep 2026).
