There appears to be no provision for a cap on the requirement for additional ambulance vehicles. Will the SAFB Firehouse team be providing some level of back-up for these services? If so, at what estimated level per month? 7-Aug-18

There is no cap for additional ambulances. When the primary unit gets a call, the contract company should have a secondary unit en-route to the base. If the primary unit does not transport, the secondary unit can be cancelled. If the primary unit does transport, then the secondary will stay on Scott AFB, positioned to respond, until they get a call to transport or the primary unit returns. Should the secondary be called to transport before the primary returns, then a tertiary unit should be on the way. The Scott Firehouse Team will not be providing EMT, Paramedic, or Ambulance Vehicle back-up for ambulance services.
