REQUESTED:
By motion:
• Authorize City Manager to sign a contract extension with Rural Metro
of Oregon, Inc. for pre-scheduled and inter-facility non-emergent basic
life support ambulance transports in ASA #5.
ISSUE
STATEMENT:
Springfield Fire & Life Safety is requesting to extend the current contract for
pre-scheduled inter-facility non-emergent basic life support ambulance
transports with Rural Metro of Oregon, Inc. for one year.
ATTACHMENTS: 1. Second Amendment to Rural Metro of Oregon, Inc. Contract
DISCUSSION/
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
Fire & Life Safety selected Rural Metro of Oregon, Inc. through an RFP process
in 2011 to provide ongoing services for non-emergency, basic life support ground
ambulance transports within ASA #5.
Rural Metro of Oregon, Inc. was contracted in FY11 to provide pre-scheduled
and inter-facility non-emergent basic life support ambulance transport services
within the Ambulance Service Area assigned to Springfield (ASA #5) as part of a
tiered response plan. This arrangement has worked out well for both Springfield
and Rural Metro. City of Eugene Fire & EMS also contracts with Rural Metro for
similar services. SFLS seeks to continue to provide emergency ambulance
responses at the advanced life support (ALS) level, while providing appropriate
resources to handle certain calls requiring a lower level of care.
Proposed contract extension will run through January 31, 2014, with no
additional extensions possible under the current contract.
