Taos County approves $75,000 contract to replace senior-center cooler; $60,000 grant covers most costs
Summary
The board approved contract TCC2024-59 with Facility Build to remove and replace the Taos County Senior Center cooler and freezer; staff reported a $60,000 grant is available and the county will add about $15,000 to cover cost increases.
The Taos County Commission voted to approve contract TCC2024-59 with Facility Build to remove and replace the cooler and freezer at the Taos County Senior Center.
County manager Jaramillo said the county secured a $60,000 grant for the equipment but will need to allocate an additional $15,000 from county funds because prices rose. "We're gonna need to put in an additional $15,000 to cover the costs," he said. Commissioner Brush moved approval and Commissioner Vigil seconded; the clerk called the roll and the contract was approved by unanimous vote.
The manager said the replacement is necessary to update equipment moved from a previous location and to ensure food service and operations at the senior center continue without interruption. The contract was described as covering labor and materials for removal and replacement.
