Council authorizes RFP process for EMS billing as five-year contract ends
Summary
Council members supported a resolution to direct the mayor to advertise an RFP for emergency medical services billing after the city’s five-year contract ends April 30, 2026; staff set a December deadline for proposals and said interviews and a recommendation will follow.
The council discussed Resolution 2025-133, authorizing the mayor to advertise a request for proposals for emergency medical services (EMS) billing services. City staff explained the existing five-year contract with the current EMS billing vendor is ending April 30, 2026, and the law department advised soliciting proposals to ensure competitive pricing and service.
Staff said proposals will be due in December, the city will interview top firms and then bring a recommendation to council for approval. The procurement timeline is driven by the April contract expiration and the work required for a potential vendor transition.
Why it matters: EMS billing affects the city’s revenue collection for emergency services. Staff framed the resolution as a standard procurement step to evaluate market options and protect the city’s interests.
Details: City staff said the current vendor has served the city under two previous five-year contracts; the RFP stage is the initial step in the process. Council members did not object to moving forward with the RFP.
What’s next: The mayor will advertise the RFP; staff will collect proposals, interview finalists in late 2025, and return to council with a recommendation prior to April 30, 2026.
