|
| | | | | | | | Summary:
| A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued by the County of Orange in December 2013 for the purchase of new model year ambulances. The County of Orange has a cooperative clause which allows other localities to purchase current model year ambulances from the awarded vendor, Laake Enterprises, Inc. The County is purchasing three (3) 2017 model year Ford 4x4 F550 ambulances. |
|
| | | | | | | | Financial Impact:
| Funding for this purchase is available in the existing FY 2017 project budget for replacement ambulances. |

| | | | | | | | Staff Contacts:
| Jay Cullinan, Chief (Interim), FREM; Brad Quann, Procurement Manager |
|
| | | | | | | | Legal Counsel:
| Jessica DesNoyer, Assistant County Attorney |
|
| | | | | | | | Additional Background/Other Considerations:
| The purchase order contract has been approved as to form by the County Attorney’s Office. |
|
| | | | | | | | Consequence of Denial/Inaction:
| Failure to approve the purchase of the ambulances will result in the prolonged use of aging ambulances within the fleet. The ambulances being replaced are experiencing reliability issues and their continued service is accompanied by increasing maintenance and repair costs. This lack of reliability impacts not only the first responders staffing the current ambulances, but also those patients who rely upon these vehicles to provide rapid care and transport in the event of a medical emergency. |
|

| Staff is requesting approval of a Purchase Order to Laake Enterprises, Inc. for the purchase of three 2017 model year Ford F-550 ambulances in the amount of $752,571.00. |
