Subject: Presentation of Analysis and Options for City -based Emergency Medical Services Transport
Background Summary:
In mid -2010, Health Central informed the City of the possibility of the cessation of its Emergency Medical
Services transport (EMS transport) due to its acquisition by Orlando Health. The City Commission approved
execution of a one -year emergency contract with Rural Metro Ambulance on August 16, 2011 to provide those
services. As part of the discussion during this process, the City Commission asked that staff bring back an RFP
for EMS transport and that they be provided with a study of the impact of the City providing these services. The
Ocoee Fire Department has conducted a multi -level analysis of the efficacy of providing in -house EMS transport
services and will be presenting an overview of costs and various options based on intensity and City
investement/return.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners consider options for the City providing its own
Emergency Medical Services?
Recommendations
Staff requests direction of the City Commission in consideration of the requested information.
