Weld County commissioners on Monday approved a professional services contract awarding Alfred Benich & Company the role of owner’s representative for capital improvement corridor projects, for a total contract amount of $22,500,000.

Toby Taylor from Purchasing told the board the award followed Bid 2500023 and noted the Weld County Charter requires public notice for expenditures of $2,500,000 or greater that are not identified in the county budget. Taylor said the required notice was published twice — first on Oct. 4, 2025, and again on Oct. 15, 2025 — in compliance with Charter Section 16.6. Public Works recommended approval of the contract.

The board opened the item for public comment; no members of the public spoke. Commissioner Kevin Ross moved to approve the contract and Commissioner Scott James seconded. The board approved the contract by voice vote.

The action authorizes the Purchasing Department and Public Works to finalize and sign the contract and proceed with the owner's‑representative services for corridor projects under the county’s Capital Improvement Plan. The contract award and its public notice record were placed on the meeting record as required under the Weld County Charter.
