What Weld County is procuring

Weld County is seeking proposals for electronic monitoring equipment and offender monitoring services. The solicitation calls for a turnkey solution, placing responsibility on the selected contractor for the equipment, implementation and operational support required to provide the service.

The procurement is structured around best value rather than price alone. The evaluation framework includes service location, service and support requirements, technical equipment specifications, proposer qualifications, and cost and pricing.

Where the technology fits

Weld County Justice Services operates an electronic-monitoring and in-home-detention program as an alternative to confinement. The county describes the program as allowing participating clients to leave their residence for authorized activities such as employment, court-ordered treatment and medical appointments while tracking equipment is used to identify authorized and unauthorized movement.

The procurement supports a county alternative-sentencing program that uses electronic monitoring in place of secure confinement for eligible participants.

Weld County currently uses a contracted monitoring provider

Weld County's Justice Services program page states that the department maintains a contract with The GEO Group and that GEO performs virtually all day-to-day duties associated with the electronic-monitoring program through its Greeley operation. The county also directs users to BI Incorporated and GEO Reentry Services for program information.

The new solicitation covers the next service period beginning in 2027.

Procurement timeline

The mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for August 12 at the Weld County Alternative Programs Facility with a Microsoft Teams participation option. Participation was required for vendors seeking to submit a proposal.

Questions are due August 19 at 5:00 p.m. The proposal deadline is September 9 at 10:00 a.m. The contemplated initial contract period is January 1 through December 31, 2027, with four possible one-year extensions.

What vendors are being evaluated on

The solicitation asks proposers to demonstrate relevant qualifications and industry experience, including references from similar engagements. Evaluation areas include the proposed service location, services and support, technical equipment specifications, qualifications, and pricing.

What OACRA is watching next

The next material developments would be an amendment, deadline change, evaluation result, award, or contract action.

Why it matters

The contract will determine the electronic-monitoring equipment, software, technical support, reporting, and related services used by Weld County's alternative-sentencing program beginning in 2027.
