Board directs staff to negotiate with top‑ranked firm for disaster recovery consulting; potential five‑year agreement
Summary
After reviewing proposals, the board authorized staff to negotiate a contract with the top‑ranked firm (DHM) to serve as the county's disaster recovery consultant; commissioners noted the recommended contract term would be five years and one member recused for a potential conflict.
Staff presented the results of a solicitation for a disaster recovery consultant. Tyler Schafer summarized the ranking: DHM (David Melvin/DHM) placed first, Wheeler Emergency Management second, and DRMP third. The board moved to authorize staff to enter contract negotiations with the top‑ranked firm.
One commissioner announced a recusal due to a relative connection to a proposer. Staff noted the intended term would be a five‑year agreement and that bringing a pre‑negotiation term back to the board would occur in the coming weeks. The motion to proceed with negotiations with DHM was approved by voice vote.
