Selectmen approve $465,000 purchase order for Norwalk Hospital paramedic services
Summary
The board approved the FY‑26 purchase order for paramedic services from Norwalk Hospital for $465,000 as part of the town’s public-safety budget.
The Board of Selectmen approved a purchase order of $465,000 to Norwalk Hospital for paramedic services for fiscal 2026, part of a broader set of public‑safety and service contracts the town authorized Wednesday.
The contract was presented as part of the finance agenda and passed unanimously. Town staff said the paramedic services line reflects the town’s ongoing contractual arrangement to provide advanced life‑support staffing for local emergency response. Finance staff included the line on a list with other FY‑26 purchase orders, such as the town’s audit, ratings and dispatch contracts.
Selectmen discussed the size of paramedic staffing and the structure of the contract during the meeting. Board members asked for a future briefing on the composition of coverage and whether the amount covers full‑time equivalents, benefits and administrative costs; town staff agreed to supply contract details on request.
The board approved the purchase orders by voice vote.
