BLCC approves homemaker services contract and renews secure-transport permits
Summary
The BLCC approved a $193,920 contract with Attend Home Care for homemaker services funded by Older Americans Act Title III funds and renewed vehicle permits for MET Transport LLC; the contract was not awarded via RFP because the originally selected provider declined.
The BLCC approved a contract on Sept. 2 between the Pueblo County Department of Human Services and Attend Home Care (DBA Attend Home Care) to administer the county's homemaker services program.
Heather Cornell, presenter for the Pueblo area Agency on Aging, said the contract totals $193,920, a reduction of about $1,080 from last year because the contract starts later in the fiscal year. The provider could take on up to 73 additional clients; each eligible client must be 60 or older, reside in Pueblo County, and be unable to perform at least two instrumental activities of daily living without substantial human assistance. Cornell said the contract was not procured through a formal RFP because the originally selected provider declined; funding comes from the state unit on aging through Older Americans Act Title III funds and no county match is required.
Earlier on the consent agenda, Cynthia Mitchell, county attorney, introduced a resolution approving renewal of secure-transport vehicle permits for MET Transport LLC. The firm had three permits approved in 2024 that had expired and submitted a complete renewal application with required fees and inspections.
Both the consent agenda (including the MET Transport LLC permit renewals) and the Attend Home Care contract were approved by voice vote. The board asked staff to monitor service quality and to solicit client feedback as required by state monitoring procedures. The meeting adjourned; the board's next meeting was announced as Sept. 4.
