Commissioners appoint Samuel Scott as county engineer and approve several landfill and septic contracts
Summary
The board appointed Samuel Scott as the county engineer (Grade 12, Step 4), approved Extreme Electric for landfill electrical work ($85,900), awarded septic work to Olson Backhoe Services ($6,000), and approved residency certificates for several students.
Jefferson County commissioners confirmed a personnel appointment and approved multiple contracts and administrative items during their regular meeting.
Personnel: The commission moved to appoint Samuel Scott to the county engineering position at Grade 12 Step 4; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. Samuel Scott introduced himself to the board, saying he is a Jefferson County native who attended BYU‑Idaho for civil engineering and completed an MBA at Idaho State University (transcript: Samuel Scott, SEG 661‑673). "I'm excited to work here and help better Jefferson County," he said.
Contracts and bids: Commissioners reviewed bids for electrical work at the landfill building and reported six respondents. The low responsive bidder for the electrical scope was Extreme Electric; the approved total amount for the award was $85,900 (the staff explanation notes the original bid was $83,200 with added low‑voltage and trenching line items). The commission approved awarding that contract.
Separately, three bids were received for a septic system installation; the low bid from Olson Backhoe Services at $6,000 was selected and approved.
Administrative: The board approved certificates of residency for multiple students (College of Eastern Idaho) for the 2025–26 terms; the names listed in the transcript were Alyssa Johnson, Elizabeth Tafoid, Gina Lentz, Kalisha Shippen, Britney Jessup and Eric Radford.
Follow up: Staff will coordinate notices to awarded contractors, monitor contract schedules (staff requested a 30‑day extension for a landfill building notice to proceed and the commission extended the completion window with a two‑week review), and bring progress updates to the commission as needed.
