Summary
Putnam County authorized purchase of a new ambulance from PennCare for $306,015 with delivery expected in January 2027 and asked the county attorney to insert a penalty clause for late delivery into the agreement.
The Putnam County Board of Commissioners approved award of an ambulance purchase to PennCare for $306,015 and directed the county attorney to add a penalty clause for late delivery.
Director Kelly Russ recommended selecting PennCare’s proposal #1 with delivery scheduled for January 2027. Commissioners approved the motion unanimously (mover: Andy Beck; seconder: Tom Helmer) and asked County Attorney Jim Ensley to add a clause to the contract imposing penalties if the ambulance is not delivered by the stated date.
The purchase is intended to replenish EMS fleet capacity; commissioners recorded the delivery schedule and asked staff to include the penalty language in the contract before final execution.
