048-5 Wyo. Code R. §§ 5-4 - Funding of Existing Programs without Competition

(a) Continued funding for currently funded programs without competition may be made if the following criteria are met by the Administrator without further review on the local level:

(i) The program's certification is current;

(ii) The Division has not received any complaints against the program which have not been resolved under the procedures provided in either Chapter X or Chapter XI of these rules;

(iii) The services to be provided are the same as delivered and provided in the immediately preceding certification period;

(iv) The provider supplies the Division with letters of support form the county commissioners in the region to be served by the program;

(v) If a private agency, it complies with the eligibility requirements of W.S. 35-1-624; and

(vi) No other letters of intent to serve the region are received by the Administrator.

(b) If the Division has received a complaint about the program, the procedure provided in either Chapter X or XI shall be followed to resolve the complaint before the Administrator may renew the contract with the program to serve the county or region. If corrective action is needed and the program has not taken the required corrective action, the Division shall actively seek a competitive bid as provided in Section 1(b) of this chapter to administer the program in that region.

(c) If the board of county commissioners are not satisfied with the services provided by a regional provider, the lack of support by the county commissioners shall be treated as an informal complaint against the provider.

(d) If applications to provide the same or similar services within the same region are received by the Administrator, he shall follow the provisions set forth in Chapter VI, Section 2.
