The Boulder County Board of County Commissioners on June 24 approved an extension of four supplemental staffing contracts the county uses for disaster recovery work.

Peyton Quistorf, senior project manager in the Office of the County Administrator, told commissioners the four contracts were originally procured to support recovery from the Marshall Fire, a wind event and pandemic recovery. "I'm here today to request approval to extend 4 supplemental staffing contracts related to disaster recovery," Quistorf said. She named the contractors as AC Disaster Consulting, IEM International, Insight Global and Synergy Disaster Recovery.

Quistorf said the extensions would run "through the end of the procurement period, March 2027," allowing the county to continue using the vendors for reporting requirements and to have "qualified consultants on retainer in the event of a disaster between now and the end of the procurement period." She also said the county has initiated a larger supplemental staffing contracts project that could absorb these agreements under the county's new procurement procedures; when that occurs the existing contracts would be terminated.

The board moved and seconded approval of the extension; the motion passed with the commissioners voting "Aye." The transcript shows no amendments or conditions attached to the extension.

Notes from the meeting record indicate the item came from the County Administrator's Office and was listed on the discussion agenda as item 7A. The action authorizes contract extensions only; no new spending amounts were specified in the public remarks and no budgetary figures were announced at the meeting.

The extension preserves the county's ability to use disaster-recovery staffing vendors for reporting and surge needs while a countywide procurement effort proceeds.
