Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Since December 2016, the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department (TFRD) has partnered with ESO for emergency medical and fire incident reporting. Their product is currently integrated into our system and fulfills our software needs for state fire incident reporting, maintenance of medical records, and medical transport billing. Additionally, various local hospital systems utilize the ESO format to share patient outcome data. For these reasons, Fire requests the need to continue to use the ESO software.
The annual costs for this software over the term of the agreement are as follows:
Year 1 $79,184.00
Year 2 94,784.00
Year 3 94,784.00
Year 4 97,627.52
Year 5 100,556.35
Total $466,935.87
