Description

Salt Lake County is seeking to enter into a sole source provider contract with the Law Offices of Julie George, Inc. to provide legal representation in civil commitment proceedings. This procurement is justified as a sole source due to the unique qualifications and experience of the current provider, and the high costs and inefficiencies associated with transitioning to a new provider. The contract is estimated at $175,000 annually for a two-year period from January 1, 2027, to December 31, 2028. Interested parties who disagree with the sole source justification are invited to submit comments by May 8, 2026.
