The evaluation team ranked firms by score; Bonneville Collections led the list with an evaluation score of 83.22 and submitted a fee-based proposal at 17.5 percent.

Procurement staff read the final ranking into the record at the Aug. 12 meeting. The ranked firms and scores were: 1) Bonneville Collections — 83.22; 2) Diversified Adjustment Services Inc. — 78.68; 3) RTR Financial Services Inc. — 71.75; 4) First Point Collection Resources Inc. — 70.53; 5) Cedars Business Services LLC — 68.27; 6) Automated Accounts — 65.88; 7) CBI Inc. — 61.86; and Medical Recovery Services was found nonresponsive for failing to include the proposal response cover sheet. The board voted to award the contract to Bonneville Collections; procurement staff noted Bonneville is located in Boise.

In related EMS business, the board recognized Battalion Chief Brandon LaRosa for 25 years of service to Ada County Paramedics. Speakers praised LaRosa’s leadership, long service and role with peer support. The EMS chief also briefed the board on preparations for the Western Idaho Fair — including an infant safe-sleep education campaign known as ABCs (Alone, Back, Crib) — and noted a recently painted ambulance will appear at public events.

The motion to accept the procurement recommendation and award RFP 25059 to Bonneville Collections passed by voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Ada County Commissioners – Open Business Meeting – August 12, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Ada County EMS evaluation committee recommended and the board awarded RFP 25059 for paramedic collection services to Bonneville Collections (fee 17.5%); the board also recognized Battalion Chief Brandon LaRosa for 25 years of service and heard an EMS fair-prep update.","taxTitle","Ada County, Idaho","taxId",2612,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506737,"Ada County to request emergency contract increase for Indigent Building HVAC electrical work",100,1758000,1858000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5565132-53d54f0152b0f06ade2be5ff17c364e9&start=1758&end=1858","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5565132-53d54f0152b0f06ade2be5ff17c364e9/thumbnail_1758000.jpg","/articles/6506737/Ada-County/Idaho/Ada-County-to-request-emergency-contract-increase-for-Indigent-Building-HVAC-electrical-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506737-c2bce08aff2fc687adcd09faf953e84f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771075122&Signature=bF494xNQe1nDs29mQpo4pCdiGrHkARC40daCNyStf7zOPTkyENcQFGhCRwxG7lrex~EX~R3CLmtBDLFR3F3u5VN08B2sW8qZAx3O0LHAcE5cIC0GfZWiIKHyk9mwLFI8ATZoAAIhCcmuwMt6hiT~808KRCsPSceGKTHFeMRjo92Hm7IEqar-FuXSDDa19kJZW3Yw4SE9CJtES2qWUbQk0AqvdOC3u8ewa8Cn62p2BKp8IxqQr1JcUg1X6ys8o9VAygToY6UqCenkJ3WgjbZk9lE1kIXZsWMYIhVdngZZL-4vP80jRp48AXuivZMOb-0BZS1Weo9DSCmjl3oATI6lIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ada County staff informed the Board of Commissioners that an HVAC replacement project at the Indigent Building (housing assessor functions) requires a larger-than-expected electrical upgrade and that procurement will present an emergency contract change order to the board this week.

Staff said the county had budgeted to remove the old VRF system and install new HVAC units, but a detailed analysis of the building’s electrical infrastructure identified the need to substantially upgrade electrical components. The work was discovered late Friday and design teams and the contractor have been pricing options. Staff provided a preliminary estimate of approximately $35,000 for the additional electrical work and said a detailed change order will be provided for the board’s signature.

County staff told the board the funds to cover the change order would come from savings within capital and operations project funds, not from the general fund. Staff said the change order would be posted and available for the board to act on at the upcoming Thursday meeting.","County staff told commissioners an unexpected electrical upgrade is required for an HVAC replacement at the Indigent Building; preliminary estimated change order of about $35,000 will be presented for board signature.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506742,"Ada County treasurer reports $10 million year-to-date interest; portfolio yield near 3.93%",366,1157000,1523000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5565132-53d54f0152b0f06ade2be5ff17c364e9&start=1157&end=1523","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5565132-53d54f0152b0f06ade2be5ff17c364e9/thumbnail_1157000.jpg","/articles/6506742/Ada-County/Idaho/Ada-County-treasurer-reports-10-million-year-to-date-interest-portfolio-yield-near-393","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506742-4b5c120e043aeb95afba117cdcd81af1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771075122&Signature=P9B3FMPRdLoCn0wxfxv2Fw8GyyVJl1mudQAaHxTIPL3TBJa0SpgpeOruz485mImE9TJkz9gANV95qwIp695F7xLHUUnnuzBJgHHHNn9ECFEsvjB78wGnUQnEdiS7YUlxz~bYC2MJB~gbUGdOgEJgy0Qb4rpnk~i00bfGyomOB0HtyP-xjq9vQF3kbYmflQwh6S3HOSSOhT02mq44Z7oiGrHnqxNLjH4wWX2sFGOuQLN37Tw8Wgztiv8PuSrjy9waNZLaiqw1h7E3gDqbp5CJaEywKEEXOdXISJnJ8~T5VuOjDOsOvTLBXexRUYAxAETGwc5V4oyzSAu81Mun-IO~SA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ada County Treasurer Beth Mah and banking and finance manager Rob Brown presented the county’s July investment report to the Board of Commissioners, reporting a year-to-date portfolio yield of about 3.93% and $880,000 in interest for the month.

Brown told the board that the county’s total interest received for the fiscal year-to-date is about $10 million, and the portfolio produced roughly $880,000 in interest in July. He said there were no maturities or purchases for the month and that roughly half of the county’s portfolio — about $175 million — is invested in the state Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), which was earning about 4.3% in the report. Money market holdings were earning roughly 4.1%.

Brown reviewed broader market context: Federal Reserve action in July held rates steady; revised jobs data and a June CPI figure contributed to market movement. He said markets were pricing in the possibility of a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in September and that the treasurer’s office continues to monitor the portfolio with investment managers and advisers.","Ada County Treasurer’s Office reported a July portfolio update showing a year-to-date interest rate of about 3.93%, roughly $880,000 interest for the month and about $10 million received year-to-date; half the county portfolio is held in LGIP.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506746,"Ada County approves certificates for delinquent water and sewer accounts; grants Boise School District extension",256,522000,778000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5565132-53d54f0152b0f06ade2be5ff17c364e9&start=522&end=778","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5565132-53d54f0152b0f06ade2be5ff17c364e9/thumbnail_522000.jpg","/articles/6506746/Ada-County/Idaho/Ada-County-approves-certificates-for-delinquent-water-and-sewer-accounts-grants-Boise-School-District-extension","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506746-e793a777ed1e50a643d351874a458ca6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771075122&Signature=WRwx4~fyanz8tVhZVbsgeSB7FBnHbEPv0~L-vdLKED21OK4vXGM-mnbuOBGUMHEJ-97WHB-ZGtqOOjPM9BMbEtSae~Sp1RBJPvGmrRxChCErR7B4Ko5ZTKdTWAywD94sW-CexCJ0VdBkq3wFAi2E6J3XxtV6q1qPDV3vRXGYFy9cmNXRitzCL-fH55kmSciLSRfiQ-vSu~5g0wt0SKZiyoLPpQavE6Unm3GcMPqaygf9qdtTlxYe1r30BsuT7lCflgSCWxi4J3~Fd908kpZQlgqFEiSk3QQyY36j4qil8oeY1FqWFJmT9B0LD3m6KZA3jcEB4b84it98n-oz43t4mA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ada County Board of Commissioners approved the county clerk’s annual requests to allow four water and sewer districts to add delinquent account certifications to property tax bills and approved a budget certification extension request from the Boise School District.

Clerk Sarah Lund told commissioners the state permits water and sewer districts to request that delinquent utility charges be added to property tax bills as “certifications.” Her office will add those certified amounts to tax bills issued in November after districts submit lists of the delinquent accounts. Lund said the requests are an annual occurrence and that larger school districts often request a seven-working-day extension to file budget certifications because their funding amounts, linked to sales tax revenue, are sometimes not final until August.

The board approved a motion authorizing the 2025 statement of authority and applications for delinquent assessment of fees for the four water and sewer districts and directed the chair to sign the documents. The board also approved the clerk’s request to grant Boise School District a seven-working-day extension to submit its budget certification and authorized the chair to sign the related documents.","The board approved applications to place delinquent water and sewer charges on property tax bills under state authority and granted a seven-working-day budget certification extension to Boise School District.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506750,"Ada County opens bids for sheriff uniforms, tables award until Aug. 19",208,333000,541000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5565132-53d54f0152b0f06ade2be5ff17c364e9&start=333&end=541","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5565132-53d54f0152b0f06ade2be5ff17c364e9/thumbnail_333000.jpg","/articles/6506750/Ada-County/Idaho/Ada-County-opens-bids-for-sheriff-uniforms-tables-award-until-Aug-19","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506750-5860cca86410a67365b5dffe7e680a28/orig.mp4?Expires=1771075123&Signature=TH0KBBdVSIW6LVCqgrRTeIiT5xPAePq2dorKWpHe5mf7cAQxgX5oyxOPoYz9fg3TbqWzxr4Maid-H-2x15yJUA5IWVtaZ-00RPawZP7-BFIgGMScQegxuLmD3lr4FzFtDqzfG1-gKQvFnShlL8tgFx35f9YYQZCOXVMD~sPWxI80z3Vi~-OUcO5uexRAMeytzHM2r2ZuD5oefI6D9aYE~H0SCNSmTahoAhuKQ1i5XG7u-FIaVF0jJnXl~iEz1hObphTIVK6lcpDu~Knua5uvP5evWwfc-G5uBfQae2M24ZbAsowC-TFPnObSvnWxqAXdRPl0DAM0K061aHnumogbfw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ada County Board of Commissioners opened bids for Bid 25069, a procurement for Ada County Sheriff’s Office uniforms, and voted to table the award recommendation until the board’s Aug. 19 open business meeting.

Procurement staff said the totals include manufacturer and alteration discounts; some optional items were excluded from the tabulation and will remain closed from the total bid amount.

The board’s decision to delay awarding the contract followed a request from procurement staff for additional time to compare the two bids in more detail. A motion to table Bid 25069 until the Aug. 19 open business meeting passed unanimously.

No award was made at the Aug. 12 meeting.
