The 30-second brief
63 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Whiteside County's meetings, most in administration & finance and grants. The latest, from Oct 20: The Public Works Committee discussed an ordinance amending the Flood Prevention and Protection Ordinance, Chapter 16, Article II, but tabled it because it had not been returned from the State and FEMA. This is not a procurement, but it is a live regulatory update that could affect future floodplain work and related consulting or engineering needs once the ordinance returns. The work was still in process on October 6, 2026.
