This is an OhioBuys Fact Sheet for Bidders and Suppliers related to an ambulance services contract opportunity issued by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC). The ODRC is soliciting proposals from vendors to provide emergency and non-emergency medical transportation services for inmate patients, with contract number DRC270054. The primary requirement mandates that the Contractor provide emergency medical transportation with a response time of fifteen minutes or less from initial dispatch call to unit arrival on location, as measured by the Institution's systems. The scope of work includes all emergency and non-emergency trips to hospitals within the local area, as well as specialized transport to The Ohio State University Medical Center and the Corrections Medical Center, with all services including disposables and both basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) capabilities.

Pricing for the contract is structured according to the type of service and destination, with separate line items for BLS and ALS services for local hospital transports and for transports to The Ohio State University Medical Center or Corrections Medical Center. The Contractor bears responsibility for maintaining service capacity and, should it be unable to respond within the acceptable timeframe, must arrange alternative ambulance services and reimburse the Institution for the contracted rate while paying the substitute service provider directly. The Institution will not provide additional reimbursement to third-party ambulance services that respond in the Contractor's stead. Specific pricing amounts, contract term length, and renewal options are to be completed in the detailed bid documents available through the Ohio Buys procurement system.
