Roosevelt County commissioners approved multiple contracts and agreements during the May 28 meeting, including a high-profile procurement for Fairgrounds Pavilion ADA renovations and several agreements to maintain county services.
Procurement: After reviewing best-and-final offers, the commission awarded RFP-2024-08 for Fairgrounds Pavilion ADA renovations to Nixon Enterprises for $619,270 — the lowest best-and-final bid — and noted a preference for a local business. The county said all responsive bids were high, prompting requests for best-and-final offers.
Audit and financial support: The commission approved a professional services agreement with Toni Williamson to assist with year-end closeout and audit preparation following the departure of a finance staff member (Ms. Rivera). The county characterized the arrangement as limited hours to ensure a smooth transition.
Behavioral health and detention center services: The Board approved continuation of the Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program at the Roosevelt County Detention Center using Behavioral Health Services Department and RISE project funding; staff said Ms. Paulus secured grant funding and reported positive impacts on recidivism.
Healthcare contract amendment: The commission approved Revised Amendment #1 to the comprehensive healthcare agreement with Roadrunner Health Services, Inc., noting the addition of ancillary cost estimates; County Attorney Michael Garcia recommended approval.
Why it matters: The ADA renovation award represents a significant local capital expenditure that affects fairgrounds accessibility and construction activity in the county. The audit support and contract amendments are intended to maintain continuity in county services and compliance.
What’s next: Contractors and staff will proceed with procurement and contract implementation steps; staff will monitor project timelines and reporting requirements.
