Commissioners approve award recommendation for county bond‑counsel RFQ

The court approved the purchasing department’s recommendation to award RFQ26‑009 for bond counsel services to the highest‑scoring vendor. During the presentation staff named proposed representatives who would serve the county under the contract, including Paul Bridal and Joy Ellis as tax partners and Chris Dvorak as an assistant. Commissioner Olegin moved to approve the award and Judge Samaniego seconded; voting opened and the court carried the motion.

Purchasing staff said they could answer follow‑up questions about the contracting representatives, and the county attorney’s office will finalize contract details consistent with the score‑based recommendation. The action will enable the county to proceed with bond‑related legal work for forthcoming financing needs.
