Commission approves consultant contracts for land‑use revision and on‑call engineering services
Summary
The commission awarded a $150,000 contract (TCC2024‑33) for land‑use and subdivision regulation revisions and approved a multi‑award for on‑call engineering services (RFP 2024‑005). Funding for the land‑use contract was carried over from the general fund.
Taos County commissioners approved two procurement items during the meeting. Staff presented contract TCC2024‑33 with Architectural Research Consultants to assist with revisions to the county's land use and subdivision regulations; the work plan accompanied the contract packet and staff said the $150,000 cost was paid from general‑fund carryover set aside in the prior fiscal year.
Commissioner Brush moved to approve the contract; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call. Planning and community outreach work connected to this contract will feed into a broader rewrite of the county's land use regulations and additional study sessions.
The commission also approved a multi‑award of RFP 2024‑005 for on‑call engineering services to WH Pacific and JR Engineering for Taos County Public Works. Staff said three proposals were received and recommended multiple awards subject to mutually agreeable contracts; commissioners approved the recommendation by motion and roll call.
What happens next: staff will negotiate contract details with the awarded firms, proceed with scheduled work‑study sessions for land‑use revisions and make on‑call engineering resources available to Public Works.
