Board awards multi‑jurisdictional hazard‑mitigation plan contract to local consultant
Summary
Supervisors selected Emergency Planning and Consulting LLC (Robin Reese) to update Benton County’s multi‑jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan for $16,642, citing local references and lower cost compared with other bidders.
The board awarded the multi‑jurisdictional hazard‑mitigation plan update to Emergency Planning and Consulting LLC (consultant Robin Reese) for $16,642, after reviewing several quotes. County staff said Reese provided local references and the lowest overall price, though the scope requires some county staff to supply current data layers and building inventories.
Staff explained the contract is a routine five‑year update that uses county GIS and assessor data; supervisors discussed the tradeoff between a lower contractor price and the county staff time needed to supply up‑to‑date local information. The board authorized the contract and noted budget lines can be adjusted in next year’s budget if necessary.
