Contract AwardProfessional ServicesDetected Jun 24, 2026

At the May 29, 2026 special meeting, Loveland Fire Rescue Authority (LFRA) staff presented four RFQ responses for an executive search firm to manage the Fire Chief recruitment, and recommended Strategic Government Resources (SGR). The Board voted unanimously to approve SGR as the executive search firm and directed staff to bring back budget appropriation details later, confirming that SGR has been selected but the exact funding allocation is still being finalized. This is a professional services engagement for high-level public safety executive recruitment, with a detailed hiring timeline and process later codified in Resolution R-187 on June 24, 2026.While the primary firm is chosen, vendors in adjacent areas—leadership assessment, background screening, psych testing, relocation support, and onboarding/leadership development—can still position complementary services around this high-visibility hire and the overall leadership transition at LFRA.

Board explicitly requested a later discussion on budget appropriation for the search firm contract, indicating funding details are still being worked through.
