Summary
Commissioners unanimously approved publication of RFQs for water and civil engineering and for transportation bond projects, awarded fleet maintenance RFP primary to Midas, accepted various grants and updates to library and language assistance policies, and approved payments and routine consent agenda items.
The commissioner's court addressed several administrative and procurement items and approved them by voice vote, typically unanimously. Actions included directing purchasing to publish RFQ 2026‑O9 for water and civil engineering services and RFQ 2026‑06‑06 for engineering design services for transportation bond projects. The court also approved awarding RFP 2026‑01 (fleet maintenance, oil and transmission services) to Midas as primary vendor with Thomas G. Myers Automotive as alternate; the contract term begins Feb. 23 with renewals up to five years.
The court authorized the county judge to sign interlocal agreements to accept grant funds for upgrades to a Citizens Collection Center, authorized environmental health to proceed with procurement after notice to proceed for a solid‑waste implementation grant, and approved the Hood County Language Assistance Plan for posting to the county website. The Hood County Library policy updates and revised mission statement were approved. The consent agenda and vendor payments were certified and approved; the court approved payment of invoices totaling $1,000,253.47 for the period Jan. 3–15, 2026.
These items were approved in the interest of maintaining county operations and preparing for expected technical reviews tied to development oversight and infrastructure needs.
