From the meeting
At the October 30, 2026 commission meeting, the county prepared letters to the Kansas Department of Transportation supporting continued Section 5311 funding for the Thomas County General Public Transportation program. One letter said the service was vital and that without continued support the program could face shutdown. Another letter committed local match funds of $157,150 for budget year 2027, with those funds available as needed during the 2027-2028 state fiscal year.
Decision state: informational support item.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Thomas County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Thomas County before the RFP is published?
