Commissioners approve selection steps for FEMA‑funded projects; Blue Ridge Environmental Consulting recommended for multiple contracts
Summary
Staff described a set of FEMA‑funded hazard‑mitigation and water‑point restoration projects; Blue Ridge Environmental Consulting (BREC) was the only bidder on several solicitations and staff recommended awarding design services and addenda to BREC pending legal and FEMA review; the board recorded a 3‑0 vote on the Water Point RFQ selection.
County staff briefed commissioners on a series of FEMA‑related projects that require procurement actions and contract addenda. Staff said some RFQs produced only a single qualified response and that they had reopened solicitations to solicit additional bids; where BREC (Blue Ridge Environmental Consulting) remained the only qualified respondent, staff recommended awarding design and engineering services to BREC subject to legal review and FEMA eligibility. "The RFQ is selecting BREC to do the WaterPoint project and do the engineering work," staff said.
Staff also described an addendum to the county's EWP (Emergency Watershed Protection) design services contract to add aproximadamente 20 projects to batch number 2 and sought board authority to execute design contracts that meet FEMA deadlines. For the Water Point selection the board later recorded a 3–0 vote to proceed with awarding the RFQ selection to BREC pending legal review and FEMA eligibility; counsel advised contracts would be finalized after legal edits to ensure FEMA compliance.
