Board authorizes Steps Consulting to implement AI governance under DOLA grant
Summary
Grand County authorized staff to contract with Steps Consulting to establish AI governance and explore responsible uses of existing Google Workspace tools under a $47,400 DOLA grant and $15,800 county match.
Information Technology Director Thomas Johnson briefed the Board that Grand County secured a Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) grant of $47,400 to develop AI governance and identify fiscally responsible AI capabilities using existing Google Workspace tools; the county will provide a $15,800 match. Johnson said staff reviewed 30 vendor applications and recommended Steps Consulting because "Steps Consulting was chosen due to its dedicated focus on AI framework consulting over general web infrastructure."
The DOLA contract required a signed agreement by May 31, 2026. The Board granted staff authority to execute a contract with Steps Consulting subject to final legal review and authorized the Chair to sign outside the current meeting if necessary.
