Summary

Council approved Sauter Miller & Associates' proposal for engineering services related to landfill permit renewal and regulatory updates, authorizing a contract amendment in the amount of $138,975 (exclusive of NMGRT).

Taos Town Council approved a proposal from Sauter Miller & Associates for engineering design services to support a landfill permit renewal and permit-modification work that predates the COVID era.

Public Works and procurement staff told the council the scope has expanded because regulation changes and delays since the project's inception necessitate additional engineering work. The Landfill Board reviewed and recommended the proposal at a recent meeting. Council approved the expenditure and staff said they will process a contract amendment to implement the work.

Why it matters: Permit renewal and design work are necessary for continued landfill operations and compliance with state environmental regulations. Council approved the proposal by roll-call vote.

Ending: Staff said the formal contract amendment will follow procurement procedures and no additional council action will be required on the amendment itself.
