Washington County supervisors approved several administrative items including the cooperative procurement of two wheel loaders, a task order for engineering services, and one-year contract extensions for outside advisors.

The board also approved a $19,763 task order to Thompson & Litton for engineering on the Stewart property (to come from reserve for contingencies) and authorized surplus of a military vehicle from the Sheriff's inventory.
Staff asked the board to approve one-year contract extensions for Davenport & Company (financial advisory services) and Sands Anderson (bond counsel), citing several upcoming projects and the need to document extenuating circumstances before re-procuring professional services. Staff said they will issue requests for proposals in 2026 and aim to have new contracts in place before November 2026. The board approved both one-year extensions and authorized signatures.
Next steps: Staff will process the procurement award paperwork, complete the task order work, and prepare RFPs for financial advisory and bond counsel services for 2026.
