Pre-RFPPublic WorksDetected Jun 3, 2026

The Conservation District wants inter-local agreements that allow its staff to augment field operations of the County Office of Emergency Management and CELM. This would formalize their role in stormwater, disaster response, and natural lands support on rural properties. These agreements are still aspirational, so no vendors are chosen.Emergency management, engineering, and field services firms can discuss how to support damage assessments, debris management, temporary drainage improvements, and rural response logistics. A good next step is to speak with the District and Emergency Management leadership about the operational gaps they see in rural areas and how outside partners could be integrated into inter-local or support contracts.

District participates in the Local Mitigation Strategy Working Group and advocates for stormwater and disaster response assistance to rural landowners.
