Commission approves county ambulance RFP to solicit sealed bids
Summary
The Chilton County Commission approved an updated request for proposals for county ambulance services to be posted immediately with a 30‑day sealed‑bid window; the contract term discussed is two years.
Commissioner Billingsley moved and the commission approved posting an updated request for proposals (RFP) to solicit county ambulance service providers.
Billingsley told the commission the RFP has been in development since before November and that once the RFP is posted vendors will have 30 days to submit sealed proposals. “When I say they, I’m talking about ambulance companies. They have 30 days to get their proposal in. Seal bid,” Billingsley said. He described the intended contract term as two years.
Commissioners praised Billingsley’s work getting the RFP prepared and voted to post the document immediately; the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The RFP starts a formal procurement process that will determine which ambulance provider the county can rely on for emergency medical transport under the terms set in the solicitation.
What’s next: The commission will open sealed bids at a recorded time after the 30‑day window and consider award of a two‑year contract based on the received proposals.
