Loading...
Summary
The county's public health official told the board the annual CDPHE air-quality monitoring contract is $40,906 (July 1–June 30, 2027), with $33,806 subcontracted to Air Resource Specialist (ARS) and $7,100 as the county's cost; staff also described how health-fair lab results will be distributed.
Public-health staff briefed the Mineral County Board of Social Services on April 27 about an annual renewal with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment for air-quality monitoring.
The total contract is $40,906 for the July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027 term. The county will subcontract the bulk of the work to Air Resource Specialist (ARS) for $33,806 and carry the remaining $7,100 as its portion of operating costs. Monitoring equipment is placed on the county annex roof and weekly data collection and reporting will continue under the same process.
On related outreach, staff described health-fair logistics and the distribution of lab results: hospitals were to send portal invitations to participants; paper results will be held at the hospital for two weeks and then the health department will distribute them if not retrieved. Organizers said the fair drew over 100 participants but fewer than 150 and plan a larger event next year.
"We subcontract the work out through Air Resource Specialist, ARS, and they're the ones who actually do the majority of the project," the public-health official said, and provided the budget breakdown.
