APPENDIXF.pdf

This is Appendix F supporting documentation for the County of Los Angeles, Department of Health Services' Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) for Transportation Overflow Services. The document establishes requirements for ambulance and ambulette operators seeking to contract with DHS for patient transport services using appropriately licensed and staffed vehicles. The RFSQ seeks to identify qualified transportation providers capable of responding to overflow demand for non-emergency and emergency patient transport services throughout Los Angeles County. Prospective bidders must hold current County of Los Angeles ambulance or ambulette operator licenses and maintain appropriate staffing and vehicle certifications throughout the contract term. The master agreement is structured to establish multiple service providers from which DHS can request transportation services on an as-needed basis to supplement existing transportation capacity.

Appendix F specifies operational and administrative requirements that selected contractors must meet, including response time standards, service area coverage, vehicle maintenance standards, and reporting obligations. Pricing for services will be negotiated through the statement of qualifications process, with compensation typically structured on a per-transport basis or through hourly rate arrangements. The master agreement allows DHS to activate services with selected providers based on identified overflow needs and actual demand, without guaranteeing minimum volume. Selected contractors must maintain continuous compliance with all County licensing requirements, insurance obligations, and operational standards throughout the contract period. The agreement structure allows for flexibility in expanding or reducing the provider network based on service performance and county needs.
