The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) Highway Safety Division is developing a Local Road Safety Countermeasures Guide. This guide is intended to provide cities and counties with strategies to improve road safety, moving away from traditional widening approaches towards more strategic improvements like enhanced grid networks, turn lanes, intersection realignments, roundabouts, and pedestrian/bicycle enhancements. The guide is currently listed as "coming soon," indicating an ongoing development phase. This initiative presents an opportunity for consulting firms specializing in transportation planning, traffic engineering, and safety analysis to potentially contribute to or support the implementation of the guide's recommendations. Vendors could offer expertise in developing similar guides, conducting safety studies, or assisting local governments in adopting these new approaches.
The guide aims to help local governments ingrain safety into every project, making "safety projects"...

The Town of Montrose has convened a Comprehensive Plan Committee that will meet on July 2, 2026 to review the current comprehensive plan and discuss possible revisions and additions. The agenda includes reviewing prior community engagement, setting a schedule and completion date, and forming small subcommittees to work on individual parts of the plan. This indicates the town is in the early planning phase of a full or substantial update to its comprehensive plan, with research already underway by committee members. While no external vendor is mentioned yet, communities often engage planning, engineering, GIS, public engagement, or economic development consultants to support plan drafting, data analysis, mapping, and facilitation. Vendors can position services around helping the subcommittees structure the update, provide technical studies, and prepare an adoptable plan as the schedule and scope are firmed up.
A quorum of the Town Board may attend, underscoring policy significance of the plan update even thou...
Solano County Water Agency has executed a professional services agreement with Jim DeRose (Hydrometric Solutions) to provide as-needed instrumentation and flow measurement support across Solano County. The contract, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, covers installation, calibration, maintenance, troubleshooting, automation support, and cloud-based data archiving for ADCPs, PSC flow checks, stage/flow sites, well sites, and special studies such as agricultural runoff and retention basin studies. Compensation is capped at 130000, with a 100/hour rate, 8500 allocated for insurance and additional expenses, and mileage at 0.725/mile. This establishes Hydrometric Solutions as the incumbent service provider for water instrumentation and flow monitoring, including working with other vendors on instrumentation, researching future needs, and obtaining quotes and prices. Vendors in related instrumentation, data management, automation, or hydrometric equipment niches can target integration, hardware/software sales through the incumbent, and position for the next contracting cycle after June 2027 when the Agency may re-evaluate or re-bid these services.
Scope includes support for Lindsey Slough tidal flow station, lower PSC automation projects, cloud a...
Amethod Public Schools, a member of the El Dorado SELPA, has executed a 2026-2027 master contract with Seneca Family of Agencies to provide nonpublic, nonsectarian school and agency special education and related services. The contract term runs from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and is structured as a fiscal-year master agreement with individual service agreements (ISAs) for each student, covering services such as specialized academic instruction, ERMHS, intensive behavioral services, speech, OT, and multiple transition and low-incidence supports at defined daily and hourly rates. This establishes Seneca as the incumbent nonpublic provider for any Amethod students placed in NPS programs or needing NPA services during the year, with clear rate sheets and operational requirements. For vendors, this award clarifies that near-term NPS/NPA placements will route through Seneca, but also signals likely future procurement or renewal activity in spring 2027 and potential needs for complementary services, data systems, transportation, or staffing support around these high‑cost, high‑needs placements.
Includes detailed 2026-2027 NPS/NPA rate sheet (e.g., NPS+Bridges, ERMHS, intensive individual servi...
