Publication of Legal Notices

This contract awards Sedgwick County the right to publish its required legal notices—including official county newspaper ads, delinquent tax listings, levy notices, fund balances, and suit/sale notices—through a designated newspaper. The selected vendor, Strunk Publishing dba The Ark Valley News, will produce both print and online versions, charging per line of type. The agreement runs for three years with two optional one‑year extensions, and the county evaluates proposals on cost, experience, references, and capacity to meet publishing frequency and circulation requirements. • Scope: Weekly print (minimum 50 issues/yr) and online publication of multiple legal notice categories, total ~100 k lines annually for the official newspaper plus additional lines for tax and other notices. • Requirements: Printing must occur in Kansas, with periodical‑class mailing, and the vendor must maintain a Kansas‑based printing operation and satisfy insurance and regulatory compliance. • Evaluation: 100‑point scoring equally weighted across references, capability, circulation, experience, and cost (per‑line pricing).
