Board approves opioid‑treatment and law‑enforcement contracts, accepts reentry supports and opens seal‑coating bids
Summary
Supervisors approved a set of contracts funded through opioid settlement dollars — including a NavCare/NapCare medication‑assisted treatment contract ($293,414.93) and a $10,500 reentry support contract for the sheriff's MODE program — approved a law‑enforcement services agreement with the City of Raymond, and opened bids for the FY27 seal‑coating project.
Black Hawk County supervisors on May 26, 2026 approved multiple contracts and opened bids for a county seal‑coating project. The board approved an opioid‑treatment contract with NavCare/NapCare Inc. to provide medication‑assisted treatment services to jail inmates diagnosed with opioid use disorder, with funding drawn from opioid settlement funds through June 30, 2027. The contract total noted in the agenda was $293,414.93.
The board also approved an amendment to the service contract that clarifies staffing and scope of the medication‑assisted‑treatment (MAT) services and confirmed that Pathways (counseling) and other providers would continue to provide complementary services. The sheriff’s office sought and received approval for a smaller related contract to provide social‑work reentry support and allow purchase of a SMART TV for group counseling in the MODE program, in the amount of $10,500 through June 30, 2027, also funded from opioid settlement funds.
On law enforcement, the board approved a contract with the City of Raymond in the amount of $31,562.11 to provide law‑enforcement services from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The sheriff's office explained a negotiated 20% increase over prior compensation to better align with actual costs and described typical coverage levels (roughly a shift‑based allocation averaging 27–40 hours per week depending on the calculation).
Separately, County Engineer Kathy Nicholas opened electronic bids for the FY27 seal‑coating project. Bids recorded included Blacktop Services ($164,196), Prairie Road Service ($195,151.04), Farner Asphalt Sealers ($284,300), and Stable Construction (bid recorded in packet); the engineer’s estimate was $206,492. The board moved to place the bids on file for further review.
Supervisors asked procurement and finance staff about contract scope and the effect of grant‑contingent funding. Board members also discussed the procurement timeline and requirements for future RFPs relevant to jail medical providers and opioid‑funded services.
What this means: The county has formalized short‑term, grant‑funded behavioral‑health and reentry supports in the jail and set contract terms for municipal law enforcement services; staff will process procurement paperwork and follow up where RFP or bidding processes are required.
