This is a retroactive $496,616 project-management contract running only September 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 for the Wildfire Community Resilience Project. Owl Check was selected through RFP 023-26. Staff says the federal BRIC project had been suspended during litigation and is now behind schedule, hence the retroactive contract.
This is exactly the kind of item I dislike seeing buried on consent: nearly $500,000, retroactive, seven months, project-management services.
