Summary
After an RFP with two applicants, the commission approved a contract with Jonathan Nish to provide capital defense counsel services for indigent defendants, based on staff recommendation and evaluation committee scoring.
County staff reported the results of an RFP for indigent capital defense services and recommended Jonathan Nish as the most qualified applicant. Jim Retallick briefed the commission on the procurement process and said there were two applicants; commissioners agreed the evaluation committee found Nish the most qualified and moved to award the contract.
Commissioner Harvey moved approval and the motion was seconded; commissioners voted in favor and the chair announced the contract award. The meeting record does not show contract price or term details; staff indicated the selected firm (or attorney) will be assigned capital defense cases as needed.
