RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to renew the agreement with Wittman Enterprises to
provide paramedic and ambulance billing and collection services for an
amount equal to 6.8 percent of monthly receipts for a three-year term, not
to exceed $210,000 annually.
DISCUSSION
For several years City Council has approved agreements with Wittman
Enterprises for paramedic and ambulance billing and collection services.
The agreement included is for a three-year term with two one-year renewal
options. Wittman offers the needed performance and expertise to continue
the current high rate of billing and collections for these services.
Wittman is not requesting a rate increase and staff recommends the renewal
of the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for the agreement are available for FY 2005-2006 in the Fire
Department, Fire Suppression, Other Contractual Services account (account
no. 11-323-6291).
