Douglas County OKs short extension for Connect Douglas contract after procurement protest
Summary
The Douglas County Board of Commissioners voted 4-1 on Jan. 6 to extend Connect Douglas’s contract with Transitions Commute Solutions through April 30, 2026, allowing staff to reissue a protested RFP and complete procurement review.
The Douglas County Board of Commissioners voted 4-1 on Jan. 6 to extend Connect Douglas’s contract with Transitions Commute Solutions through April 30, 2026 to allow staff to reissue a protested request for proposals and finish the procurement process.
Director Roberts told the board a protest had been filed during the procurement and that officials must reopen the RFP. “What we have to do is now go back out for the RFP,” Roberts said, explaining that the short extension would allow the current contractor to continue operating while the county completes the process.
The extension ordinance authorizes the chairman to sign related documents pending final legal review. The transcript records a motion, a second and a recorded vote of 4-1 in favor; the record does not identify which commissioners cast each vote.
County staff will reissue the RFP and complete the third-party operator selection process; the extension carries the contract through April 30, 2026. No additional contract amounts or financial details were discussed on the record.
