Kittitas County commissioners extend Kimley‑Horn consulting contract through May 24, 2028
Summary
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a two‑year extension of the county's on‑call professional services agreement with Kimley‑Horn and Associates, LLC to continue planning support including work on the Clean Energy Siting Permitting project.
The Kittitas County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on June 22 to extend the county's on‑call professional services agreement with Kimley‑Horn and Associates, LLC for two years, running through May 24, 2028. CDS Director Chad Bala presented the request and identified the firm as the county's on‑call consultant for environmental, long range and current planning support.
Vice‑Chairman Brett Wachsmith moved to approve the resolution "authorizing the extension of Kimley‑Horn consultant's contract for on‑call environmental planning, long range planning, current planning and support for a two‑year period," and Commissioner Laura Osiadacz seconded. The motion passed "all in favor," with three commissioners recorded as present and voting. The extension covers existing on‑call planning services and continued assistance on active projects including the Clean Energy Siting Permitting (CESP) work.
The resolution formalizes a continuation of Kimley‑Horn's master contract after staff added tasks during a two‑year update process. The contract extension was presented as an operational action to ensure continuity of consultant support; no amendments to the scope beyond the previously described additional tasks were recorded in the session.
Officials indicated the action was a standard contract authorization to maintain consultant availability rather than a new procurement for a distinct project. The board concluded the item without further discussion and adjourned at 2:35 p.m.
