Tilton leaders discuss new ambulance options, long lead times and budgeting
Summary
EMS staff outlined call volumes, ambulance specs and long manufacturer lead times (14–24 months); price options near $249,809 were cited and trustees discussed setting aside funds to meet delivery timelines.
EMS staff presented January call volumes and described recent procurement work on ambulance specifications. Staff reported typical build lead times of 14–24 months and said payment is usually due on delivery rather than up front.
One staff member discussed two vendor options and said a quoted price could be about "$249,809" for a new ambulance with a 14‑month build time, noting that graphic wrapping and other finishing can add months. Trustees discussed setting aside monthly funds so that the village would have money available when the unit arrives.
No final procurement motion was approved at this meeting; staff said they would return with a recommended vendor and financing options after further investigation of pricing and lead times.
