Aug 21, 2026

The full story

The board approved an RFP award to McQueen Emergency for a Type 3 ambulance priced at $319,881 to replace a vehicle nearing the end of its service life. County officials said the purchase is in the five-year capital plan and that ordering in advance avoids longer lead times; if the county waited to order without an RFP the build time could extend to three years.
