Coos County approves a series of consent contracts: OHA IGA, construction engineering amendment, TOPS membership and other items
Summary
At a regular meeting the board approved an IGA with the Oregon Health Authority for tort liability coverage of forensic psychiatric services, a $16,000 amendment to engineering services on the Ross Inlet wall project, membership for Agnes LLC in the TOPS program and several other routine contracts and procurement items.
The Coos County Board of Commissioners approved multiple consent and procurement items including an intergovernmental agreement with the Oregon Health Authority, a construction-engineering amendment for a Ross Inlet wall repair, a timber-operations membership contract and design procurement for courthouse fencing.
Unidentified Speaker 1 introduced IGA 44300-00057225 with the Oregon Health Authority to ensure tort-liability coverage through the state self-insurance fund for the county’s forensic psychiatric services. Speaker 3 clarified the forensic team’s role in civil-commitment work and said this has been a longstanding arrangement. The board approved the agreement by voice vote.
The board approved Amendment No. 2 to a contract with Strata Design LLC to provide additional field construction-engineering visits during installation of a pile wall on Ross Inlet Road, not to exceed $16,000. Paul (project staff) said Strata made multiple oversight trips for pile driving, tieback installation and final inspections; the amendment covers those additional visits.
Other approved consent items included admission of Agnes LLC into the TOPS (timber operations patrol services) program on a prorated basis, authorization to pay a $4,253 invoice increase to complete vehicle outfitting, and awarding a design contract to Crowe Clay and Associates for courthouse perimeter fencing (bid $9,200), with state courts funding the installation.
The board also approved a contract to add a mediator to the county’s list of domestic mediation providers; the position is cost-neutral to the county, paid through state court fees. All motions were seconded and carried on voice votes.
Next steps: department heads and managers were authorized to sign the approved contracts and effect the procurements.
