BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On January 11, 2022 (Item No. 14), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved Contract No. 22-14 with EndPoint EMS Consulting LLC (EndPoint) for the development of an emergency ground ambulance and interfacility transport services procurement, negotiation of resulting contract(s) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) consulting services, in a total amount not to exceed $214,250 for the period of January 3, 2022 through March 31, 2023. The recommended amendment to Contract No. 22-14 will allow EndPoint to continue to provide the County with EMS consulting services necessary for completion of this procurement process.
Under the terms of the contract, EndPoint has assisted the County and the Inland Counties Emergency Medical Agency (ICEMA) in development of a Request for Proposals (RFP) for emergency ground ambulance and interfacility transport services, obtained the State EMS Authority review and approval of the RFP, has provided support throughout the procurement process, and continues to provide EMS consulting services to the County and ICEMA. As part of the RFP process, EndPoint facilitated stakeholder input meetings with the Emergency Medical Care Committee on system enhancements and identified data from existing providers necessary for the development of the RFP. EndPoint will support the proposal review process, resulting in award of the new contract for emergency ground ambulance and interfacility transport services. EndPoint will also continue provision of general EMS consulting services to ICEMA, as needed.
PROCUREMENT
Contract No. 20-74 with EndPoint, approved by the Board on February 11, 2020 (Item No. 30), was the result of a successful competitive procurement. Contract No. 22-14 and the recommended amendment are a continuation of the EMS consulting services previously provided by EndPoint under competitively procured Contract No. 20-74.
