Geary County received one bid in response to its seasonal snow‑removal and sidewalk/ice‑melt RFP; the sole proposal quoted flat seasonal rates totaling $30,000 for the county buildings listed in the packet. Public Works staff said the bid applies to the season (Oct. 1–Apr. 30) and that the commission may elect to accept all, none, or selected buildings from the bid; staff will review pricing and return a recommendation.

Separately, commissioners reviewed a draft memorandum of agreement with the neighboring county (referred to in the meeting as Rannett County). The draft was forwarded to county legal counsel for edits; staff said changes include making the document a memorandum of understanding and adding a one‑year automatic renewal clause with a 30‑day cancellation provision. A motion to proceed with the intercounty snow‑removal agreement as edited was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Why it matters: the snow‑removal bid and intercounty agreement affect county winter operations and maintenance responsibilities. The interlocal arrangement is intended to provide mutual assistance during heavy events while clarifying terms for cancellation and renewal.
