Purchase of Two Medical Response Vehicles (Additions) for the Fire and Medical Department (Citywide)
This purchase is for the implementation of a new response model to improve efficiencies for areas of the City that receive high volumes of calls for service. The 4-Person Medical Response Units (MR) will be adaptable to respond to Fire and Medical’s medical, lower level, and non-emergency calls. In-turn, this will keep frontline apparatus available for higher-level emergency calls. Utilizing the MRs will also reduce wear and tear and extend the life cycle replacement of the larger frontline apparatus.
The Fire and Medical Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the Helping Governments Across the Country (HGAC) cooperative contract with Professional Sales and Service, L.C., at $423,238.33. This purchase is funded by the Capital General Fund.
