This is an Award Information document for RFQ #19-18 issued by Dawson County Purchasing in Georgia for Electronic Offender Home Monitoring services to be provided to the Dawson County Sheriff's Office. The request for quote sought qualified vendors to provide electronic offender home monitoring and related services, with the most commonly utilized system being GPS tracking. The contract was awarded to Pronto Trak on September 3, 2021. The services encompass multiple monitoring modalities including radio frequency curfew or house arrest monitoring, GPS tracking (both active and passive), continuous transdermal alcohol testing (SCRAM) with various connectivity options, remote breath alcohol testing, installation fees at either the vendor's location or in the field, and substance abuse screening services including alcohol breath analysis, ethylglucuronide testing, on-site and lab-based urine analysis, and hair sample drug testing.

Pricing for Pronto Trak's 2021 services ranges from $5.00 per month for basic RF curfew monitoring to $75.00 per hair sample drug test, with installation fees of $30.00 at the vendor location and $75.00 for field installations. SCRAM services with cellular base connectivity are priced at $13.00 per month. Program costs are to be paid 100% by the offender, with the County bearing no collection or payment responsibility, and the vendor absorbing any uncollectible debt. The courts retain complete authority over offender selection and management, with field installation protocols determined on a case-by-case basis and only through court order. Dawson County does not guarantee minimum or maximum contract values.
