The 30-second brief
11 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Tawas Area Schools's meetings, most in capital projects and administration & finance. The latest, from Oct 12: The board had a roof replacement project on the agenda as a bid award item. The meeting document does not name the bidder or show the outcome, so the award was still pending the October 12, 2026 vote. This is a live capital project for building envelope work and a clear follow-on opportunity if the district needs sequencing, construction support, or related materials.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Education & Training and Administration & Finance.
Latest awards: IRESA for board Approves IRESA Career Education Agreement (Aug 2026) and Thrun Law for board Approves Thrun Law Annual Policy Update (Aug 2026).
