Commission approves Kit Carson Electric to administer $2M CEED program award; county to finalize contract scope
Summary
Procurement recommended awarding RFP 2026-2 for administration of the Taos County Energy Efficiency Development (CEED) program to Kit Carson Electric Company; staff noted the county received $2 million of a $10 million program and will finalize contract details and scope of work.
Taos County procurement staff recommended awarding RFP TCC2026-2 for administration of the county's Community Energy Efficiency Development (CEED) program to Kit Carson Electric Company, Inc., subject to negotiations. Procurement staff said two responses were received and staff recommended Kit Carson as the administrator; Christopher Madrid said contract preparation requires detailed scope development and that "time is of the essence" to spend grant funds before the grant period ends. The commission approved the award and directed staff to finalize contract terms.
Staff emphasized the grant funding scale and the need to move quickly: county officials said the county was awarded $2,000,000 of a larger $10,000,000 program and noted this jurisdiction is among the first new programs statewide, so procurement and contract execution will be prioritized.
