GRAND COUNTY, Colo — The Board of Grand County Commissioners approved on Monday three agreements with local entities to secure space and staff for the county’s COVID-19 response in case it’s needed.
First, the county teamed up with Winter Park Resort to reserve 111 rooms at the Vintage Hotel for an alternate care facility should Middle Park Health’s campuses became too full. According to the agreement, the county would pay $4,000 per week, which covers the rooms, room supplies, and food and beverage service.
“It’s proactive and it’s not going to cost us anything unless we use it,” Commissioner Kris Manguso said. “Thank you to Winter Park.”
The board also approved an agreement with Denver Health for health care staff for an isolation care facility and other needs the county may have for the COVID-19 response.
The agreement includes 96 hours per week of registered nurse time and 72 hours per week for clerical work. Grand County is responsible for providing the medical equipment, as well as reimbursing Denver Health at a rate of $49 per hour for nurses and $26 per hour for clerical personnel.
