Board approves Business Oregon‑funded extension and $75,100 cost for SHN Consulting contract
Summary
Klamath County authorized an amendment to its professional services contract with SHN Consulting for community well/fire system studies, approving a date and cost extension covered by a Business Oregon grant (fiscal impact recorded as $75,100).
Klamath County commissioners on Dec. 10 approved Amendment 1 to a professional services contract with SHN Consulting Engineers and Geologists that extends the contract date and increases project costs, with the county reporting the increased cost covered by an existing Business Oregon grant.
Public works staff (Jeremy) briefed the board that the county received $320,000 in Business Oregon grants for the project and withheld funds for potential change orders. The consultant's reports are roughly 95% complete, and community meetings are scheduled after the first of the year in the affected communities (Beaver Marsh, Chemult and Midland). Staff requested a date extension so reporting and outreach can be completed. "The cost is covered inside of the Business Oregon grant, so it doesn't cost the county any additional funds," the public works presenter said.
Commissioner Minty moved to approve the amendment authorizing the vice chair and public works director to sign; the board approved the motion by voice vote. The agenda records a fiscal impact of $75,100 charged to the commissioner's miscellaneous grant fund/domestic law grant — staff characterized this as covered by the Business Oregon grant and not an additional county cost.
The item included a brief project update and scheduling information; staff did not present a full amendment text in the meeting transcript but confirmed the reports are near completion and community outreach will follow.
