DATE: November 17, 2026
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Agreement with Satellite Tracking of People, LLC
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute an Agreement with Satellite Tracking of People, LLC, for continued GPS electronic monitoring and services and alcohol detection equipment and services, effective November 22, 2026, not to exceed five consecutive years, which includes a three-year base contract and two optional one-year extensions, total not to exceed $6,500,000.
REPORT
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Approval of the recommended agreement will allow Probation to piggyback on National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint Master Agreement (MA) No. 99SWC-NV26-29618. This will provide Probation access to preferential pricing to services provided by Satellite Tracking of People, LLC (STOP), for GPS electronic monitoring and alcohol detection equipment and monitoring services for individuals involved with the Probation Department. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
If the recommended action is not approved, the Probation Department will no longer have a contracted vendor to provide electronic monitoring and alcohol detection equipment and monitoring services for individuals involved with the Probation Department. A new Request for Proposal (RFP) would need to be issued, which would result in a lapse in contracted services. During this period, the County would lose the advantage of leveraging the NASPO Value Point Master Agreement with STOP for preferential pricing, leading to higher costs, as the County would be subject to prevailing market rates for electronic monitoring and alcohol detection equipment and monitoring services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in the Net County Cost (NCC) associated with the recommended actions. The recommended agreement will allocate $1,300,000 per year for the potential five-year term of the agreement. The Probation Department pays an all-inclusive rate of $3.95 per day per active unit for alcohol equipment and monitoring services, $3.35 per day per active unit for electronic monitoring equipment and services; and an additional $3.50 per day per active unit for enhanced monitoring for Pretrial participants. The costs associated with this agreement are offset primarily by Assembly Bill 109 revenue. Approximately $190,000 per year is NCC, which will fund electronic monitoring for adult and juvenile offenders. Approximately $211,116 per year is funded by Pretrial Expansion revenue. Sufficient appropriations and estimated revenues are included in the Department’s Org 3430 FY 2026-27 Adopted Budget and will be included in subsequent budget requests.
DISCUSSION:
On January 15, 2026, the State of Nevada in partnership with the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO), a cooperative purchasing organization facilitating public procurement solicitations and agreements, issued Request for Proposal (RFP) Solicitation Number 99SWC-S3474. The RFP solicited services for four categories: Category 1: Global Positioning System (GPS) Monitoring; Category 2: Radio Frequency Monitoring (RFM); Category 3: Alcohol Monitoring (AM); and Category 4: Value Added Services. Nine responsive proposals were received. The natural-break method was used to determine awards. The RFP allowed for multiple vendor awards, and in April 2026, the NASPO ValuePoint Executive Council approved awards to eight vendors, including STOP.
The Purchasing Manager is authorized to join with other public entities for collectively preparing specifications; requesting and receiving quotations or proposals for piggybacking purposes; and making an award to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder if the source selection method used is in compliance with the requirements of the Purchasing Manual. Purchasing may also use State of California Cooperative Purchasing Contracts if the items under a State contract meet the County's needs, and if it is unlikely that a separate County bid would result in prices, terms and/or conditions that are more favorable. Contract buying groups are considered to take the place of competition if, in Purchasing's opinion, it is in the best interest of the County.
The County has contracted with STOP for GPS electronic monitoring services since 2013, through various Purchasing and Board agreements, piggybacking on NASPO’s Electronic Monitoring of Offenders Contracts to secure preferential pricing for these services. The previous agreement A-24-384 was approved by the Board on July 9, 2024 and is set to expire on November 21, 2026. The recommended agreement will allow the Department to piggyback on the recently established NASPO ValuePoint MA No. 99SWC-NV26-29618, which will not only allow the Department to access updated preferential pricing, but will also ensure continuity of electronic monitoring and services and alcohol detection equipment and services for Probation and the Courts.
The recommended agreement differs from the County’s standard insurance requirements, in that language entitling the County greater coverage has been removed. Inclusion of this clause provides the County the right to access insurance above the minimums if a loss goes over the requirements. The Department believes the benefits of entering into the recommended agreement outweigh any associated risks.
