Floyd County boards review competing proposals for ambulance feasibility study
Summary
Floyd County officials reviewed two consultant proposals — Emergency Medical Solutions ($39,750, six months) and Public Consulting Group ($44,500, five months) — and agreed the Ambulance Commission will recommend whether and which study to pursue.
The Floyd County Board of Supervisors and Charles City City Council met May 26 to review two competing proposals for a countywide ambulance service feasibility study and expressed support for moving forward pending a recommendation from the Floyd County Ambulance Commission.
Emergency Medical Solutions, LLC proposed a six-month study for $39,750 that would analyze EMS call data, evaluate service delivery options and include stakeholder engagement through on-site and virtual meetings; representative Tim Nowalk said the firm would add an additional consultant at no extra cost. Public Consulting Group offered a five-month, data-driven review priced at $44,500 that includes a multi-day on-site visit and a larger consulting team; representatives Steve Noble and Greg Waymon emphasized the firm—ielded varied expertise and discussed a possible Phase 2 after the study.
Officials recorded no contract award at the meeting. The Floyd County Ambulance Commission is scheduled to meet next week to decide whether the study should proceed and which company to recommend. Both boards indicated they would favor moving ahead with a feasibility study, but no formal authorization or funding approval for the study was made at the May 26 session.
Two procedural motions were recorded in the minutes: Rottinghaus and Campbell moved to approve the meeting agenda (motion carried 3-0), and Campbell and Rottinghaus moved to adjourn at 7:50 p.m. (motion carried 3-0).
