This file relates to an Executive Order from 2019 and an ambulance services contract opportunity issued by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) for inmate medical transportation. The ODRC is seeking proposals from vendors to provide emergency and non-emergency ambulance services, including basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) transportation for inmates to local hospitals, The Ohio State University Medical Center, and the Corrections Medical Center. The contractor must ensure emergency medical transportation is provided within a response time of fifteen minutes or less from the time of initial dispatch call until the unit arrives on location. If the contractor cannot meet the required response time, the contractor must document the call, arrange for alternative ambulance service to respond, and reimburse the institution at the agreed rate while paying the alternative service provider directly. The contract requires the contractor to provide all emergency and non-emergency transportation services, including disposables and life support services.

Pricing for the services is to be submitted by bidders with separate rates for BLS and ALS services for local hospital trips and trips to The Ohio State University Medical Center or Corrections Medical Center. The contract specifies that the institution will not reimburse any other agency for providing services if the contractor had the opportunity to perform the call. The specific pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, and other financial details were to be completed and submitted through Ohio Buys, the state's procurement system. Additional contract requirements and specifications, including set-asides and funding sources, would be detailed in the full solicitation documents available through the Ohio Buys portal.
