About this opportunity

The Rusk County Sheriff's Office in Wisconsin is seeking qualified service providers to deliver comprehensive medical services for inmates at the Rusk County Jail through a Request for Proposals (RFP). The procurement encompasses on-site healthcare personnel, direct medical services, and coordination of off-site medical care, including hospitalization, dental, and other necessary healthcare needs. Minimum staffing requirements include a Licensed Practical Nurse or Registered Nurse on-site for 15 hours per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 5 hours each day) and 24/7 on-call physician availability. Vendor qualifications must include at least three years of previous correctional facility experience, proven effectiveness, ability to commence operations by July 1, 2024, and staff with appropriate background checks. Proposals must be submitted in one original plus three copies to Jail Captain George Murray by 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on March 22, 2024, with written questions accepted until March 15, 2024. The selection process is scheduled for April or May 2024, pending Rusk County Board of Supervisors' approval.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The proposed contract term is five years, running from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029, with potential one-year extensions at the County's discretion. Insurance requirements include Medical Malpractice/Professional Liability coverage of at least $1,000,000 and Comprehensive General Liability Insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence with $3,000,000 aggregate coverage, with Rusk County to be named as an additional insured. The jail has a capacity of 52 inmates with an average daily population of 40 over the past decade. The successful vendor will be responsible for all service delivery costs, including on-site staff, medications, medical supplies, pharmacy services, and medical equipment. Pricing terms are set at Net 30 upon receipt and acceptance, and the County is exempt from state sales tax and federal excise taxes. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the medical services suggests a substantial contract value commensurate with the full healthcare management of the county jail.
