RFP Ambulance Area Service Franchise

Coos County is seeking qualified franchisees to provide ambulance transportation services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Ambulance Area Service Franchises. The procurement aims to identify service providers capable of delivering comprehensive, 24/7, 365-day ambulance services within designated Ambulance Service Areas (ASAs). Prospective franchisees must meet stringent qualifications, including appropriate licensing, certification, insurance coverage, and demonstrated financial stability. The RFP requires providers to offer high-quality, efficient emergency medical transportation services, with potential for mutual aid response. The procurement process will result in issuing one franchise per service area, with an initial five-year term from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2029, and potential for subsequent five-year renewals. The proposal submission deadline is August 30, 2024, with Jessica Kosydar serving as the single point of contact for the procurement. Evaluation criteria will focus on operational capabilities, service quality, and the franchisee's ability to meet the comprehensive emergency medical transportation needs of Coos County residents.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the RFP appears to be open to qualified ambulance service providers meeting the specified technical and operational requirements. The procurement does not indicate restrictions limiting participation to specific enterprise types or disadvantaged business classifications. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing ambulance service infrastructure. The RFP does not disclose specific budget ranges or anticipated award values for the ambulance service franchises. Interested providers will need to carefully review the complete RFP documentation to understand the full scope of requirements, including the technical proposal submission format, operational expectations, and the comprehensive evaluation process that will determine franchise awards for the designated Ambulance Service Areas.
