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.
