Board hires DCS as on‑call engineering firm for Elko TV District projects
Summary
The Elko TV District board voted to hire Diversified Consulting Services (DCS) as its on‑call engineering firm after a scoring committee recommended DCS over an out‑of‑area bidder; one member recused and one abstained. DCS principal Mike Murphy introduced himself and said he will manage work locally.
The Elko TV District board voted to hire Diversified Consulting Services (DCS) as the district’s on‑call engineering firm for future projects. Ray, a board member who served on the scoring committee, said DCS scored “significantly ahead” of the other bidder and recommended the board approve the contract. The motion carried after a roll‑call voice vote; one board member recused because he formerly worked for DCS and Kent recorded an abstention.
Mike Murphy, principal engineer and project manager for DCS in the area, introduced himself to the board and said the firm looks forward to assisting the TV district. “We’re just happy to be involved with the TV District and assist any way we can,” Murphy said. He added he expects to be directly involved on the Grindstone Road engineering item the district discussed.
Why it matters: the board explicitly prioritized a vendor with local presence and redundancy of service, citing ease of coordination for tower and site work in Elko County. The approval authorizes the chairman to issue task orders and engage DCS on future engineering tasks, subject to the district’s contracting process.
