RFQ Ambulance Services.pdfRFQ Ambulance Services.pdf

This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for ambulance services issued by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC). The RFQ seeks proposals from qualified vendors to provide emergency and non-emergency medical transportation services for inmates at ODRC facilities. The contractor must ensure that emergency medical transportation is provided within a response time of fifteen minutes or less from the time of the initial dispatch call until the unit arrives on location. Services include all emergency and non-emergency trips to local hospitals and to specialized facilities such as The Ohio State University Medical Center and the Corrections Medical Center, with all disposables and both basic life support (BLS) and advanced life support (ALS) services included in the scope of work.

The pricing structure requires contractors to submit separate bid prices for BLS and ALS services for trips to local hospitals and for trips to The Ohio State University Medical Center or Corrections Medical Center. If the contractor cannot meet the fifteen-minute response time requirement, the contractor must document the call, arrange for another ambulance service to respond, and reimburse the institution for the service cost while paying the responding agency directly. The institution will not reimburse any other agency for services provided, provided the contractor had the opportunity to run the call under the contract terms. The RFQ does not specify renewal options, contract term length, or award dates in the available documentation.
