Klamath County signs multiple public‑health contracts for weatherization, wood‑stove changeouts and peer‑recovery training

Klamath County Public Health presented and the board approved several professional‑services contracts Jan. 27 to support residential weatherization and wood‑stove changeouts under a targeted airshed grant, and an agreement to host continuing‑education training for addiction peer specialists.

Public Health staff said the board previously approved acceptance of quotes and that Barbuda Construction LLC (listed in the transcript) was one contractor selected to provide weatherization services. The board approved a contract for Barbuda Construction LLC not to exceed $250,000 from Sub‑Department 4039 for weatherization work. Commissioners also approved contracts identified in the record for wood‑stove changeout work; the transcript lists Bob Hall's Heat and Air LLC and United Mechanical with not‑to‑exceed amounts read in as $700,000 each and a related contractor (Seasons Change LLC) listed with a transcript phrase "7,700 thousand" that appears to be a transcription or formatting error. Public Health staff stated the funding is coming from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency through the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to the county.

Separately, the board approved an agreement with the Metro Plus Association of Addiction Peer Professionals (MAPS) to host certified‑treatment‑provider training at Oregon Tech’s Crater Lake Complex in March, serving up to 150 participants and offering continuing education credits from the Mental Health and Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (referred to in the transcript as "MACBOW"). The fiscal impact for that agreement was listed as $9,965 to the LADPC subdepartment; the motion passed unanimously.

The county did not provide additional contractual detail such as individual scopes of work or procurement documents during the meeting; contract documents on file with the county will contain final terms and amounts.
