DIGS Drops Effort to Stop County from Awarding Clean-up Contract

On March 15, Demanding Integrity in Public Spending (DIGS), filed a reply brief stating that  it “will no longer seek an order from this Court directing Defendants to rebid its contract . . . .” Instead, DIGS now seeks to conduct depositions of the Commissioners and Evaluation Committee. DIGS’s change of position will likely allow the County to move forward with signing the private debris removal contract with DRC as early as March 22. Nonetheless, the County believes the lawsuit remains a distraction from important recovery work for the community, especially depositions of staff who should be focused on planning and implementing PPDR. The County continues to maintain that it complied with all applicable laws in selecting a winning bidder for the PPDR contract. A hearing on DIG’s initial motion it set for Friday, March 18. Read the full reply brief from DIGS.  More information on the county's coordinated debris removal program is available at www.BoCo.org/Marshall-Debris-Cleanup.
