Ambulance RFP

UPDATE - FEBRUARY 13, 2020

RFP ERRATA AND EXTENSION DEADLINE

Due to the following discrepancies in the original RFP, the proposal submission deadline has been extended to Thursday, March 19, 2020:

1. The original RFP stated copies of the RFP had been submitted to both the Los Angeles County Ambulance Association and the Ambulance Association of Orange County, which did not occur.  In order to resolve this conflict, the RFP deadline will be extended until 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 19th, 2020,  as noted below in the Revised Schedule of Events.  In addition, the City will reopen the RFP Question period through March 5, 2020.

2.  The original RFP did not specify that selected provider would be required to provide powered ambulance gurneys, which is the case.  Any RFP submitted by interested service providers should reflect that cost.
