County awards patient transportation contract to RideCare with optional renewals
Summary
Comcare and the sheriff's office recommended and the board approved a one‑year contract with four 1‑year renewal options to David Roberts Consulting LLC (d/b/a RideCare) to provide patient and inmate transportation; committee noted current annual spend around $70,000.
A selection committee representing Comcare and the sheriff's office unanimously recommended awarding a patient transportation contract to David Roberts Consulting LLC, doing business as RideCare. The contract is for one year with four 1‑year options to renew; staff said the county's prior annual spend with the vendor was about $70,000 and that the current vendor had its contract terminated for failing to meet requirements.
"On behalf of Comcare and the Sheriff's Office recommend to accept the proposal from David Roberts Consulting LLC doing business as RideCare at the rates listed above and establish contract pricing for 1 year with 4 1 year options to renew," the presenter said. The board asked how the new rates compared with prior vendor pricing; the on‑line contract manager with Comcare said RideCare's price was "a lot better" and that the prior vendor had terminated their contract for failing to meet requirements. The board voted to approve the award.
Comcare staff explained that some clients require transport to state hospitals and between provider locations; the contract will establish the county's vendor for those occasional and recurring transportation needs. The meeting record did not include detailed per‑ride rates in the public discussion.
