    GLYNN COUNTY MANAGER’S OFFICE 1725 Reynolds Street, Third Floor, Brunswick, GA 31520 Phone: (912) 554-7401 Fax: (912) 554-7596 Email: [email protected] MEMORANDUM To: The Honorable Commissioners From: Alan Ours, County Manager Subject: Request for Proposals for the Provision of Emergency Medical Services Date: November 3, 2015 Background: During the 2015/2016 budget work sessions, the Board of Commissioners directed county staff to research the possibility of contracting with a private company to provide emergency medical services to determine if a private company could provide the service at a lower cost. To that end, staff has researched how a private contract would work and the potential impact to county services. There are a few private companies that provide 911 EMS service on behalf of counties in Georgia. The companies that contract for EMS service claim that they can provide the service more efficiently and at a lower cost. Many counties in Georgia have a stand-alone EMS Department and a stand-alone Fire Department. Glynn County has a combined Fire and EMS Department. The privatization of EMS is less complicated when a county has a stand-alone EMS System. Glynn County’s Paramedic’s and EMT’s are also certified firefighters and respond to all structure fires. Glynn County typically responds with a fire engine with two firefighters and an ambulance with a Paramedic and an EMT to all structure fires in order to meet the National Fire Protection Administrations (NFPA) recommendation of having four firefighters on the scene of a structure fire. This is referred to as the “two in and two out” rule.
