Local brief
Crook County bids on the county site, and a rabies note that is not an evacuation
Crook County’s bid page listed a health-benefits consultant RFP and a septage-operations invitation. A separate homepage note says rabies was found in a bat. No award amount and no evacuation order were on those lines.
Crook County’s bid page, opened October 3, 2026, listed two open titles. One is a request for proposals for a health benefits consultant. The other is an invitation to submit bids for septage operations. The list page did not show a closing hour in the lines copied here. Do not invent a deadline or a dollar amount. Open each title before you tell a vendor when the bid is due. The page says you can sign up there for a text or email when new bids are added. That signup is the county’s, not Notice Nearby’s.
This is a solicitation list, not a contract award.
The same homepage carried a public-health note: rabies was recently detected in a bat in Crook County, and the county is telling residents to protect families and pets. That is a health message. It is not a countywide evacuation and it is not a board hearing. No case count was copied because the short homepage line did not give one. The homepage also mentioned a post-fire multi-agency resource event with the Oregon Department of Forestry. The event’s date was behind a “read on” link that was not opened. NEEDS VERIFY that date. Do not print it from this brief.
