Committee recommends awarding CLG historic-survey contract to ELOS Environmental LLC, sets $25,000 cap
Summary
Staff recommended and the committee approved forwarding to council a contract award to ELOS Environmental LLC for a Certified Local Government survey project; state matching funds increased the grant to about $33,000, staff recommended a $25,000 contract cap and set aside additional funds for training per state guidance.
Staff told the committee that initial bids for the Certified Local Government survey exceeded the state grant amount. After working with the state, staff said the grant was increased to roughly $33,000 and two bidders were reviewed; staff and a colleague recommended ELOS Environmental LLC of Hammond, Louisiana, and proposed a contract cap of $25,000 to accommodate change orders, with roughly $8,000 identified for training per state direction.
The committee carried a motion to forward the recommendation to council. Staff said the vendor reduced its initial proposal to fit the grant scope and emphasized that the contract cap would allow for incidental changes without additional approvals.
Brett Chumley, the ACC chairman, and staff participated in the selection, and Mandy assisted in review.
