Garfield County approves engineering services agreement and pickup equipment installs

The Garfield County Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 12 approved an Agreement for Services with Circuit Engineering District #8 and signed an Exhibit A task order tied to that master agreement, authorizing CED #8 to provide engineering services to the county. Vice‑Chairman Reese Wedel moved both actions; the motions were recorded as Aye by Chairman Clarence Maly and Vice‑Chairman Wedel during Kegin’s earlier absence and later recorded with all three commissioners present when applicable.

The board also authorized a quote from Tops & Stripes Truck Accessories to install equipment on the Highway Superintendent/Emergency Management pickup for $6,237.56 and approved a separate $1,200 quote from Trademarks Signs & Graphics to remove equipment from the original Emergency Management pickup. Wedel moved both equipment motions; the minutes record the actions as approved by the board.

The board approved an Exhibit A Task Order Form issued pursuant to Section 4 of the master agreement with CED #8 dated Jan. 12, 2026. The minutes show these procurement and contracting steps were presented as routine authorizations; no additional staff directives or contingency conditions were recorded in the minutes.

Reese Wedel made the primary motions on the agreement and equipment quotes; the minutes show Aye votes from Maly and Wedel on several items while Joe Kegin Jr. was out of the room earlier in the meeting and returned later. The record does not include direct quotations from staff about the scope of CED #8 services beyond the motion language recorded in the minutes.

The board’s next regular meeting was set for Jan. 20, 2026.
