REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />MARCH 19, 2012 <br />TITLE: <br />REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR <br />TEMPORARY EMERGENCY <br />TRANSPORTATION SERVICES <br />(AMBULANCE) <br />�. - <br />RECOMMENDED ACTIONS <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 1St Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City of Santa Ana to release the Request for Proposals for temporary emergency <br />medical transportation services. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The recently approved Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) contract includes provisions for a re- alignment of <br />Emergency Medical Services (EMS) delivery. The City and OCFA released a Phase I formal RFP for the <br />provisions of 911 Emergency Transportation Services. However, the process is not expected to be completed <br />by the formal transition date of April 20, 2012. Therefore the City is seeking a qualified Orange County <br />licensed Exclusive Operating Area provider for a period up to 120 days with the ability to extend the provisions <br />for an additional 30 days, effective April 20, 2012 at 0800. In order to qualify to provide temporary services, a <br />provider will be required to have an assigned Emergency Operating Area allowing a seamless connection to <br />dispatch. <br />This independent process of selection will not affect the RFP process for a long term 911 Emergency <br />Transportation provider contract. All interested and qualified providers will be invited to participate in both <br />processes. Selection as the temporary provider will not result in any added benefit in the review of proposals <br />for the long term 911 Emergency Transportation Services. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />This action has no fiscal impact. <br />7� <br />Dave Thomas <br />Fire Chief <br />19F -1 <br />
