Kansas SB436 raises the cost threshold for public bidding in county construction contracts from $25,000 to $100,000.

Kansas SB436 amends the state's law concerning counties, specifically the public bidding process for construction contracts. The bill increases the cost threshold for when the public bidding process must be used to award such contracts from $25,000 to $100,000. This change affects county construction contracts for courthouses, jails, buildings, bridges, highways, roads, dams, turnpikes, related structures, and stand-alone parking lots. The bill also excludes certain expenditures, such as professional services, insurance contracts, and emergency repairs, from the public bidding requirement.
