Commissioners approve $740,863 repaving contract for Taos County Complex parking areas
Summary
The board approved contract TCC2025-18 with GM Emulsion to repave the front and back parking areas of the Taos County Complex for $740,863.25 (inclusive of gross receipts tax); commissioners discussed water‑harvesting considerations but staff said elevation limits those options.
County staff presented contract TCC2025‑18, a bid from GM Emulsion to provide labor and materials to repave front and back parking areas of the Taos County Complex, with a total amount presented as $740,863.25 inclusive of gross receipts tax.
Commissioners raised concerns about stormwater and water‑harvesting design—one commissioner recalled a presentation by Southwest Hydrology on curb cuts and parking‑lot approaches to conserve water—and asked whether the repave could incorporate those techniques. County staff said the parking lot elevation and other site constraints made some of the options infeasible and that the department had previously met with the hydrology presenter.
Commissioner Brush moved to approve the contract; the motion was seconded and the clerk conducted a roll call with recorded 'Yes' votes. The motion passed and staff were thanked for investigating alternatives over the past year.
Ending: Contract approval was formalized by roll-call vote; commissioners asked staff to keep broader sustainability practices in mind for future projects.
