The Y3 renewal includes a requested increase of 4.5%, or $380,132.10. This increase would take the 2026 calendar year services total from $$8,447,380.03 to $8,827,512.13. The contract states the contractor can request an increase of 4.5% to 5% based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) per year. The is renewal request invokes the contractual minimum increase as agreed upon the service contract. What options exist for the Board? The Board of County Commissioners can either accept the requested CPI increase as outlined or denied the increase. Consequences: The consequences of not renewing the contract would create a substantial impact to the Detentions Division and inmate medical care, which is statutorily required. Failure to renew would also place the WCSO in the position to replace the current medical vendor. Impacts: The impact is an increase in 2026FY spending by 4.5%, or $380,132.10. The WCSO has budgeted sufficient funds for 2026 to cover this increase. Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years): The Y3 renewal includes a requested increase of 4.5%, or $380,132.10. This increase would take the 2026 calendar year services total from the 2025 $8,447,380.03 to $8,827,512.13. The Y3 renewal includes a requested increase of 4.5%, or $380,132.10.
