Overview

Summary

The Lea County Board of County Commissioners is requesting proposals from qualified vendors to provide comprehensive health care services and mental health services within a secure environment. Award will be for a Multi-Term contract . The purpose and goal of this Request for Proposals is to select, through a competitive process, an Offeror(s) that has the proven experience and expertise to perform services described in this RFP. Lea County is requesting proposals for "turnkey" medical services and provision of health and mental health care services to male and female detainees in the LCDC. The County seeks an Offeror to provide comprehensive health care services and mental health care services, within a secure environment, and in accordance with (or exceed) the standards of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC), the American Correctional Association (ACA), the New Mexico Counties Detention Professional Standards (NMC DETENTION STANDARDS).

Background

This section provides information on the Lea County Detention Center (LCDC) that may be helpful to the Offeror in preparing the proposal. This information is provided as an overview and is not intended to be a complete and exhaustive description. Lea County reserves the right to make organizational changes as necessary.

Lea County Detention Center is responsible for both juvenile and adult male and female detention. The Detention Center is overseen by the Detention Director and his/her staff in the following functional areas: operations, classification, administration, food operations, commissary and medical services.

Lea County Detention Center has an allotted staff of roughly 106 full-time positions, which includes administrative and security personnel. In addition to county employees, there are contract personnel in the medical, mental health, kitchen, and commissary departments. For Fiscal Year 2025 the detention center is averaging 260 adult detainees and 24 juvenile detainees.
