BACKGROUND:

In order to maintain continuity of services following the transition of control over the Escambia County Jail from the Escambia County Sheriff's Office to the County, an agreement was entered into between the County and Dr. George A. Smith, M.D. for physician services at the Escambia County Jail. Section 2 of the respective agreement outlines the term of the agreement. The term is listed as three years with two possible one-year extensions. It is the request of the Corrections Department that we utilize the last of the two possible one-year extensions for the period of October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018. During the course of the coming year the department will put the part time physician services for the facility out to bid utilizing the County's established procurement procedures.
