See CONTINUATION Page

The purpose of this amendment is to answer vendor questions;

Sterling Mathews Contracting Officer

CONTINUATION PAGE

Boston Ambulance The RFP document contains language on page 18. C. 6 which states all “drivers” must be at a minimum EMT-B level training. Under current state regulations, a Basic Life Support unit may be staffed with an EMT and “a person trained to the first responder level”. This permits the ATS configuration.

Will the contract allow the use of an ATS to serve as a driver? This consideration was granted by the State of Massachusetts under OEMS rules due to the ongoing shortage of EMT’s across the state and across the country.

Based on the vendor question above, section C.6 has been adjusted to read:

C.6 Ambulance Drivers shall meet all Federal, State, and local requirements necessary to perform services under this contract.
