Grand County selects Cruz & Associates as municipal advisor and awards PR work to Camp Stories
Summary
During its May 6 meeting the Grand County Commission approved two contract awards: Cruz & Associates as municipal advisor to support a county facility needs assessment and potential financing, and Camp Stories as the county’s public relations firm; both decisions were unanimous.
The Grand County Commission voted May 6 to engage Cruz & Associates as municipal advisor and to award a public‑relations contract to Camp Stories.
Staff said Cruz & Associates was recommended after a review of proposals because it offered the lowest cost and had recent experience advising on the specific 2.216 sales‑tax financing option the county may consider for public safety facilities. Commissioners noted no upfront fee was required; the municipal advisor typically works on a market/transaction fee basis.
On PR, staff reported the county received 28 proposals after an RFP; the selection committee interviewed finalists and recommended Camp Stories based on fit with other contractors and media‑buy recommendations. Commissioners authorized the chair to sign the PR contract pending legal review.
The approvals were unanimous. Commissioners said both decisions support ongoing work on the county’s facility needs assessment and advertising/communications strategy.
