Medical Oversight Services

The City of South Fulton, Georgia is seeking a medical director through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for comprehensive medical oversight services for its Fire and Rescue Department's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) program. The selected contractor will provide medical direction for a department that responds to approximately 20,000 annual EMS calls and employs 234 personnel, with 90% being Georgia-licensed EMS providers. The ideal candidate must be a licensed Medical Doctor (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) in Georgia, with a minimum of three years' experience in EMS medical direction or emergency medicine, current DEA license, and ACLS certification. Key responsibilities include serving as the Physician Sponsor for the department's EMS license, approving protocols and medications, reviewing patient care records, conducting case reviews, and participating in training sessions. The contract will be for an initial twelve-month term with an option to renew for one additional year. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM EST on October 23, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled virtually on September 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM. Proposers must submit a comprehensive package including a cover letter, resume, medical license, quality assurance/quality improvement approach, proposed fee structure, and professional references.

The RFP includes provisions for small business participation, offering up to five additional points for certified small businesses or proposals demonstrating at least 25% subcontracting to certified small businesses. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the medical oversight services suggests a substantial professional services contract. The procurement appears open to individual medical professionals or medical consulting firms that meet the specified qualifications. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation. The evaluation will likely consider the proposer's medical credentials, experience in EMS medical direction, proposed approach to quality assurance and clinical oversight, and commitment to small business participation. The contract's focus on comprehensive medical oversight suggests a complex and critical role in supporting the city's emergency medical services infrastructure, requiring a highly qualified medical professional with extensive experience in emergency medical systems and regulatory compliance.
