Granite County approves RFP notice for Community Wildlife Protection Plan update backed by $66,000 grant
Summary
Commissioners approved public notice and packet to solicit bids for a Community Wildlife Protection Plan update funded by a $66,000 grant (listed as $65,000 direct, $1,000 indirect); procurement thresholds require public bidding and staff will open bids on the scheduled date.
Granite County commissioners voted to publish a request for proposals (RFP) and approve the RFP packet for an update to the county’s Community Wildlife Protection Plan.
Staff reported the project is funded by a $66,000 grant, described in the packet as $65,000 direct funds and $1,000 indirect. Because the procurement crosses the county’s purchasing thresholds for consultant services, the project will be publicly advertised; commissioners approved both the notice and the packet and set open-bid timelines during the meeting.
Commission discussion included prospective contractors familiar with regional wildfire mitigation work and the county’s ability to use cooperative purchasing vehicles (for example Sourcewell) to bypass full bid processing where appropriate. Staff said they would post the public notice in the newspaper and accept proposals per the advertised schedule.
Next steps: the county will publish the RFP notice, receive proposals, and return to the commission with a recommendation and any contract award for final approval.
