They cannot start rebuilding until their properties are cleared. Some homeowners not willing to wait for the county-led process have begun paying cleanup firms to work on their individual properties.
The Boulder County commissioners on Feb. 10 chose DRC Emergency Services out of 11 bidders, but a contract never has been signed as negotiations between the company and the county continue.
