Pre-RFPPublic WorksDetected Jun 1, 2026

At the June 1, 2026 meeting, Public Works-related representative Dan Godek discussed upcoming infrastructure projects, collaboration with neighboring counties, and CDL schooling, with the county planning to publicize CDL training via the Gove County Advocate and social media. This indicates Gove County is looking at a combination of capital/infrastructure work and workforce development for drivers and equipment operators. Specific projects, timelines, and partners are not yet defined in the minutes, suggesting these initiatives are in early planning stages rather than tied to a current bid.Vendors providing engineering, construction, training curriculum, CDL instruction, or regional collaboration tools can engage early to help scope infrastructure priorities and design cost-effective CDL training and recruitment programs with the county and its neighboring jurisdictions.

CDL schooling will be promoted in local media and social channels, indicating an intent to move forward but without a formal procurement yet.
