County approves several contracts, updates on inmate medical services and signs FEMA IPAWS MOU
Summary
The commission approved a FEMA IPAWS MOU, a drug-testing contract for the court supervised treatment program, a prevention contract with Cathedral Home for Children, an amendment for crisis-intervention coordination, rejected inmate-medical bids and directed reissuance of the RFP while extending existing CoreHealth coverage short-term.
The Albany County Board of Commissioners approved several administrative and service contracts and took procurement actions for inmate medical services.
IPAWS MOU: County emergency management staff presented a three-year memorandum of understanding with FEMA to continue the county's use of the Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (IPAWS). The MOU names county alerting authorities and has no cost; the board approved the updated MOU.
Court supervised drug testing: The board approved a contract between the Albany County Court Supervised Treatment Program and the Wyoming Department of Family Services for drug-testing services from Sept. 1, 2025, through Sept. 30, 2026. Under the agreement, the county laboratory will be paid $15 per test plus confirmation fees as billed; staff said there are no conflicts with existing clients.
Prevention and crisis intervention services: The board approved a $10,400 contract with Cathedral Home for Children to fund parent-education programming addressing underage alcohol and marijuana use (one-time $2,000 materials payment and monthly $1,200 for staff). The board also approved an amendment/extension for crisis-intervention coordination services tied to a federal Bureau of Justice Assistance grant to continue work while federal budget modifications are pending.
Inmate medical services procurement: Staff reported that submitted bids for inmate medical services at the Albany County Detention Center exceeded the budget. The board voted to reject all bids and directed the clerk to re-advertise an RFP. To maintain continuity while the RFP is reissued, the board approved a 60-day extension to the current provider (CoreHealth) through Jan. 15, as an addendum.
Administrative notes: The board approved vouchers for October and concluded the meeting. Where specific dollar amounts or program details were referenced the transcript presented contract descriptions and payment terms; the meeting record typically shows voice votes and "motion carries" language rather than roll-call tallies for each approval.
