Commission approves on‑call engineering RFP, equipment lease, roll‑off and telecom MOA
Summary
The Colfax County Commission approved several procurement actions: a John Deere equipment lease, a $532,296 roll-off contract, an on‑call engineering RFP for the airport, and a monthly MOA with Baca Valley Telephone for a repeater site; the DA professional services contract was also approved with authorization to adjust the amount.
The commission approved multiple procurement and contract items affecting county operations and capital projects.
On the airport, commissioners approved RFP 2025‑O2 for on‑call engineering services to maintain FAA sponsorship obligations while the county retains airport ownership; the county expects Angel Fire to reimburse certain costs when incurred. Commissioners also noted State Aviation indicated possible funding support for a hangar project, up to about $400,000 following the upcoming fiscal year.
The commission approved a multi‑year lease of John Deere equipment for the Road Department — a 60‑ or 72‑month term with total lease payments presented at $1,418,005.62 — and asked staff to follow up with pricing on an optional front blade before final purchase of that accessory. Road staff said the lease package includes spare wheels and three all‑wheel‑drive machines intended to improve snow removal efficiency.
The commission awarded a roll‑off contract (referred to in the record as “Arthur roll off”) totaling $532,296 for the year and approved a memorandum of understanding with Baca Valley Telephone Company to provide internet at a repeater site on Sierra Grande for $99.95 per month; the county previously paid for the repeater hardware with LAPF funds but was told DFA guidance does not permit using LAPF for ongoing internet subscription operational costs.
The commission also approved the professional services contract with the 8th Judicial District Attorney’s Office for FY24 (contract FY24‑25001) and authorized the county to adjust the contract amount if necessary after the DA’s office completes its finance review. All listed procurement and contract actions passed by roll call vote.
