Commissioners approve two RFP awards for courthouse exterior and detention nursing services
Summary
The Eddy County Commission voted to award an exterior courthouse renovation RFP (RFP 2509R) to James Corporation and a detention center nursing services contract (RFP 2601) to Cell Staff LLC after procurement staff reported compliant proposals and top evaluation scores.
County procurement staff told commissioners that RFP 2509 (courthouse exterior) initially received no proposals and was canceled; a reissued solicitation (RFP 2509R) subsequently received two compliant proposals, and James Corporation ranked highest on evaluation scores. The commission moved, seconded and voted to approve the recommendation to award the contract.
Staff likewise reported that RFP 2601 for detention center nursing services received four compliant proposals; Cell Staff LLC scored highest on the evaluations and staff recommended awarding the contract to them. Commissioners moved, seconded and called the vote; the board approved the award.
Roll calls during the votes included named responses when read aloud (e.g., "Klein? Yes. Owen? Yes. Carlson? Yes. Trust? Yes."), and motions were made and seconded before the votes. No contested protests or abstentions were recorded in the transcript.
Both awards will proceed under standard contracting processes and are on the record as approved by the commission at the meeting.
