Board approves vaccine purchase, multiple public‑works easements and contract amendments; ratifies two oil‑and‑gas leases
Summary
The board approved an exempt vaccine purchase for $153,500, adopted several contracts and right‑of‑way agreements for drainage and road projects, approved a gravel‑supply change order, and ratified two oil and gas leases held by PDC Energy (described as a Chevron subsidiary).
At its Feb. 18 meeting the Weld County Board approved a slate of procurement and contract items, including a vaccine purchase for department clinics, multiple right‑of‑way and easement acquisitions for public‑works projects, an HR contract amendment and a gravel supply change order.
Purchasing recommended purchase of vaccines for the Department of Public Health and Environment from MedicoMart Inc. under County Code 5.4.80.25 (medicine and supplies exemption), with a purchase amount of $153,500; the board approved the expenditure by motion.
The board approved contract ID 10367 (a Notice of Funding Allocation/work plan for Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act performance incentive funds) after Jamie Ulrich (Department of Human Services) explained the funds support employment training and workforce development activities.
Human Resources presented contract ID 10374, an amendment to the county’s FMLA management services agreement with UPMC Benefit Management Services (DBA Work Partners), noting a requested 2% per‑employee monthly rate increase; the board approved the amendment. The board also approved a facility‑use agreement (contract ID 10372) allowing the North American Model Boating Association (NAMBA) District 20 to use the Southwest Service Center pond during weekend hours for the 2026 season.
Public Works secured board approval for several property conveyances and temporary construction easements for multiple projects (contract IDs 10359, 10360, 10361 and 10362), including: a donated permanent drainage and grading easement from the Town of Johnstown for a bridge project (estimated value $5,000–$10,000); acquisition of right‑of‑way and temporary easements for the Galeton Drainage Project (compensation amounts cited, including a previously approved $20,212 pass‑around); and right‑of‑way compensation of $65,354.50 for County Road 29 improvements (including negotiated landscaping settlement). Public Works also requested and received approval for change order #2 to a gravel supply contract (bid B240037 / contract ID 10384) to allow an earlier project start; staff said the department budgeted $1,982,500 for the contract in 2026.
Separately, the board ratified two oil and gas leases (S1T5N R65W) at Chevron’s request, identifying PDC Energy Inc. as the operator and describing it as a wholly owned subsidiary of Chevron USA Inc.; the board approved a motion to ratify the leases.
Where transcript entries recorded roll‑call votes (for certain commissioner warrants) those tallies were captured; most procurement and contract approvals were recorded as motions carried by voice vote.
