Description

Project Introduction
Barton County, Kansas (“the County”) is soliciting qualifications from qualified attorneys or law firms to provide County Counselor services. The selected individual or firm will serve as the primary legal advisor to the Barton County Commission, supporting the County with proactive, timely, and accurate legal counsel.

The County intends to evaluate firms/attorneys based on professional qualifications, relevant experience, capacity, understanding of County government, and overall fit for long‑term legal service.

Interview Process
It is Barton County’s intent to leave the RFQ open until an individual or firm is under agreement as approved by the Commission. Given the immediate need for services, the Commission may formally interview those persons submitting an RFQ in person, by phone or via email.

Once an individual or firm is selected, a contract will be negotiated.
