Risen Talbert, capital development and procurement lead, said the county transitioned from paper bids to an electronic procurement platform (Omicron) in 2024 and has since increased vendor participation and competition.
"The more vendors you have, the more competitive bids are, the better pricing," Talbert said, citing a recent construction solicitation that drew 10 bids. He said the procurement platform has improved access for vendors and that project financials and schedules are now posted online for public visibility.
Talbert also previewed a forthcoming 10-year CIP that will be presented in October, saying the plan will outline major infrastructure needs and potential funding sources to guide multi-year decisions.
