This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) issued by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) for local ambulance services at the Southeastern Correctional Institution. The RFQ seeks proposals from vendors to provide emergency medical transportation for inmates with a response time requirement of fifteen minutes or less from initial dispatch call to unit arrival on location. The contractor must provide all emergency and non-emergency medical transportation to local hospitals and to The Ohio State University Medical Center or Corrections Medical Center, including all disposables and basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) services. The Institution will contact the selected contractor for all inmate medical transportation needs. Specific item quantities and response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder's meetings, and award dates are not detailed in the provided file content.

If the contractor cannot meet the fifteen-minute emergency response timeframe at any point, the contractor must document the call information, contact another ambulance service to respond and transport the patient, and bill the Institution the contracted rate while reimbursing the substitute service provider. The Institution will not reimburse any other agency for services if the contractor had the opportunity to run the call. Pricing for BLS and ALS services for local hospital trips and for trips to The Ohio State University Medical Center or Corrections Medical Center must be submitted by the bidder in the proposal, with specific dollar amounts to be completed in the RFQ response.
