SCOPE OF RFP

Millard County is requesting proposals from active state licensed Dentists who are qualified and licensed

to practice dentistry in the State of Utah. This position will provide dental services to male and female

county inmates housed at the Millard County Jail. The average daily population is 20- 30 county

inmates.

The successful vendor (hereafter the "provider'') will administer on-site dental care to county inmates in

the Millard County Jail. It is anticipated that the provider will spend an average of two to four hours per

visit on site for scheduled visits with inmates, with an average of 6 visits per year. However, the

provider will be required to respond to bona fide emergencies as needed (PRN) and to other dental

needs as determined by the nursing staff of the Millard County Jail after consultation with the provider.

The provider will prescribe appropriate medications and order additional testing as medically necessary.

The provider will supervise Millard County Jail nursing staff in the dispensing of provider prescribed

medications.

The provider will be expected to keep and maintain all dental charts and records as required by law. The

Millard County Sheriff's Office shall be the owner and custodian of all such records.

The provider will not be required to provide secondary or tertiary level services, but may be required to

consult with outside specialists and to refer inmates as medically necessary. The provider will not be

responsible for providing elective dental care to inmates. "Elective dental care" is dental care that, if

not provided, would not, in the opinion of the provider, cause the inmate’s health to deteriorate or to

cause definite harm to the inmate's well-being.

The provider will be required to implement and follow procedures, practices, and protocols that are

consistent with Millard County Jail policy and all state, local and federal statutes and regulations

governing the provision of dental services to the jail inmates.
