The 30-second brief
150 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Summit County's meetings, most in information technology and capital projects. The latest, from Oct 26: Summit County Government executed a 2027 federal grant subrecipient agreement with Early Childhood Options for Head Start and Early Head Start program work. The agreement sets a cost-reimbursable structure and a 10% modified total direct cost indirect rate, but this copy does not state a subaward dollar amount. The agreement term runs from January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2027, which gives grant management, compliance, and audit support vendors concrete incumbent intelligence.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Grants and Transportation.
