Summary/Background: Souder Miller & Associates (SMA) has been under contract to provide engineering and environmental services at the Taos Regional Landfill since December 16, 2021. These services were procured through a competitive request for proposals (RFP #21-22-02). The RFP is valid for four years and expires December 15, 2025.

The purpose of this request is to amend the contract to add staff support services and increase the total compensation. These services are needed due to staffing shortages at the Taos Regional Landfill. The Amendment is for six (6) months of support services.

Please refer to SMA's proposal for details.

Note: the Legal department is preparing the Amendment, and we hope to have a copy available for the meeting.
