Commission approves $24,600 contract with NBW Architects for Circular Butte Landfill shop engineering
Summary
Jefferson County commissioners approved a $24,600 fixed-fee engineering contract with NBW Architects to design electrical and office work on the Circular Butte Landfill Shop; the board directed staff to finalize standard terms and set a meeting to set contract tiers.
Jefferson County commissioners on Friday approved NBW Architects to provide engineering design work for electrical and office areas at the Circular Butte Landfill shop under a $24,600 fixed-fee contract.
County staff presented a cost proposal and the firm’s standard agreement. Staff said the quoted amount — $24,600 — covers design; any work after the plan submission would be billed on a time-and-materials basis. The agreement incorporates the county’s standard terms and conditions.
Why it matters: The contract covers electrical and office engineering at a county solid-waste facility and is the first design step before bidding and construction. Staff said most of the cost is for electrical engineering.
Board action: A commissioner made a motion to approve NBW Architects for the Circular Butte Landfill Shop project at the cost of $24,600; the motion was seconded and approved in a roll-call vote. Commissioners said staff should schedule a follow-up meeting with legal counsel and the chair to tier contract requirements and clarify when full terms are necessary.
Ending: Staff said they will set a meeting with county legal counsel and the chair to define tiered contract review thresholds and to schedule a kickoff meeting with NBW; no bidding or project-management fees are included in the $24,600 fixed fee.
