Summary

Fire Chief Michael Prince told council AmeriPro EMS submitted the most responsive proposal for city ambulance transport; the council approved a three-year contract beginning June 1, 2026, subject to final contract execution by city officials.

The Lincoln Park City Council voted March 23 to award the city's ambulance transport contract to AmeriPro EMS for a three-year term beginning June 1, 2026, following a presentation by Fire Chief Michael Prince.

Chief Prince said the fire department issued a request for proposals to ensure continued delivery of reliable emergency medical transport and that AmeriPro EMS "was determined to be the most responsive, responsible proposal." He told council the contract would begin June 1, 2026, and recommended approval of the attached resolution.

Council asked a brief procedural question about whether the provider would maintain an office in the city; Chief Prince said the company planned to operate out of the former DPC building (Johnny Papalas site). After brief discussion, the council approved the resolution on roll call. The resolution authorizes awarding the ambulance transport services contract to AmeriPro EMS for three years, subject to final contract approval and execution by appropriate city officials.

City staff will finalize contract details and return signed documents to the clerk for filing.
