Agenda Item
i. Amendment to the Spend Limit of RFP 23-544 for Ambulance Services to the DeKalb County School District by Metro Ambulance Services, Inc. dba American Medical Response (Not to exceed $550,000)
Summary: Presented by: Dr. Triscilla Weaver, Chief of Access & Opportunity, Division of Access & Opportunity
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve an amendment to the spend limit of RFP 23-544 Ambulance Services for the DeKalb County School District by Metro Ambulance Services, Inc. dba American Medical Response, Inc.) in an amount not to exceed $550,000 per renewal period. With this approval, the total spend limit for the RFP will be increased by $300,000.
Why: The DeKalb County School District (DCSD) continues its partnership with Metro Ambulance Services, Inc., doing business as American Medical Response, Inc., to provide essential basic life support (BLS) ambulance services at athletic and district events. The presence of ambulance services is crucial for ensuring the safety of participants, responding to emergencies promptly, and maintaining a secure environment for all attendees.
This year, the district has expanded its athletic offerings, introducing more flag football teams and elementary-level athletics. The amendment to the spending limit will help accommodate these additional sports programs and ensure adequate ambulance coverage at other significant district events, such as the Marching Band Showcase, School Expo, and Back-to-School Rally.
The requested amendment aligns with Strategic Goal Areas 1: Student Academic Success with Equity and Access, and Strategic Goal 2: School, Family, and Community Engagement.
Details: Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) play a vital role in responding to sports emergencies by providing immediate medical care to athletes who are injured or experience medical issues during events. EMTs are trained to quickly assess and stabilize individuals in critical conditions, ensuring rapid intervention to reduce the severity of injuries and improve recovery outcomes. In sports, timely medical attention is crucial due to the nature of many injuries, and EMTs can significantly affect the result by preventing complications and accelerating the recovery process.
American Medical Response, Inc. has provided services for DCSD Athletics for the past seven years and was the only company capable of handling the high volume of events required.
American Medical Response, Inc. will be required to have an ambulance present for the entire duration of each event. The ambulance dispatched to DCSD athletic events will be a basic life support (BLS) unit, fully equipped with the necessary equipment as mandated by the Georgia Department of Public Health Rules and Regulations (511-9-2).
Financial impact: The total budget for these services is allocated from the cost code (100.2500.530200.00011.7090.9990.8010.092.0000) under the Athletics’ General Fund Budget in the amount not to exceed $550,000 this fiscal year.
