Roosevelt County hires Southwest Montana Consulting for sanitarian services
Summary
The commission approved a one‑year contract with veteran‑owned Southwest Montana Consulting for sanitation inspections and licensing at an hourly rate; commission plans to reevaluate after one year.
Roosevelt County commissioners voted to award a one‑year service contract to Southwest Montana Consulting for sanitarian inspections and licensing work after a company introduction and discussion of capacity and rates.
Van Pucket, who introduced the company alongside colleagues Zach and Delila (a sanitarian), told commissioners the veteran‑owned firm provides licensed‑establishment inspections, land‑use assistance and hybrid service arrangements for neighboring counties. The presenters said they can share travel costs when working in nearby counties and aim to schedule concentrated inspection sessions to maximize efficiency.
Commissioners discussed capacity and payment terms. The presenters stated a base rate of $110 per hour, listed a per‑diem/night figure of $200, and referenced other travel or charge items in discussion. The contract was described as a one‑year agreement with a review and re‑evaluation after the year. The commission moved, seconded and approved the contract by voice vote; staff were instructed to connect the contractor with the county public‑health director to finalize operational details.
The contract covers routine health inspections required by county licensing and will be invoiced on a regular schedule to the county; commissioners said the county will assess performance and adjust during the annual review.
