South Dakota townships can now enter snow removal and road repair contracts without competitive bidding if the cost stays under $10,000 (up from the previous $3,500 limit). For projects exceeding $10,000, townships must advertise for bids as required by law, though they can still negotiate hourly or daily rates with contractors if needed. This change gives townships more flexibility to quickly hire snow removal services without the administrative burden of bidding on smaller contracts.
