Sheriff's sergeant outlines hazmat trailer procurement, EOP bids and regional MOU work under SHSP grant
Summary
Sergeant Leonard Isaacson briefed commissioners on hazmat-trailer bids funded by a SHSP grant, emergency-operation-plan (EOP) consultant estimates, and plans to develop inter-county MOUs with Sweetwater County for coordinated emergency response.
Sergeant Leonard Isaacson of the sheriff’s office briefed Daggett County commissioners on emergency-management purchases tied to a State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) grant, including three near-term hazmat-trailer bids, estimates for a county emergency operations plan, and a regional push to draft inter-county memoranda of understanding.
Isaacson said the county solicited three bids for a hazmat trailer and initial response equipment; the proposals clustered close in price (roughly $12,000–$13,000 each), and Isaacson told commissioners he planned to finalize a purchase order once vendor details were confirmed. He described that as “the first step in the $35,000 to getting that hazmat trailer,” and said some vendors offered modest discounts for county or law-enforcement customers.
On the emergency operations plan (EOP), Isaacson said bids varied widely: one bidder suggested a ballpark “somewhere between 40 and a hundred thousand,” while another submitted a clearer, lower-cost bid of about $45,000 that included up to nine meetings with stakeholders, a training day, built-in plan extensions, and follow-up support. Isaacson said the more-detailed bid emphasized practical, scalable support (compartmentalized response) suited to the county’s size and that state emergency-management staff, including Michelle Miller, support the approach.
Isaacson also described outreach to Sweetwater County’s fire warden and emergency leaders to draft formal MOUs across fire, EMS, law enforcement, search and rescue and other functions. He said an initial meeting of roughly 11 invited participants could take place about 30 days after the briefing, with the aim of returning a draft for attorney review and commissioner sign-off within roughly 60 days.
Commissioners did not take a formal vote on procurement or contract selection at the Feb. 4 meeting. Isaacson asked for the commission’s awareness and said he would return with a purchase order once vendor selection and required signatures were in place.
