Title
Authorizing the expenditure from the General Fund for the payment of Medical Director services; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award a contract for the BLS Medical Director of Toledo's Fire and Rescue Department; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Ohio Revised Code section 4765-3-05 requires all Fire Departments offering Emergency Medical Services to operate under the licensure and authority of a Physician for medical direction, and on an annual basis report the name of this Medical Director to the Department of Public Safety. Accordingly, Fire requests permission to award a service contract to a Medical Director, selected following TMC 187.24, for one year with two additional renewable one-year terms, with such renewals to be automatic unless terminated by either party upon 60 days advanced written notice. Whereby said service contract cost is not to exceed $70,000 annually, totaling $210,000 over the contract's potential three-year term.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That an expenditure not to exceed $70,000 annually is authorized from the General Fund, Account Code 1001-53000-3341002EMSBUR for the payment of BLS Medical Director contract services for the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department.
SECTION 2. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and enter into a one-year contract with the option to renew for two additional one-year terms for the services authorized in Section 1.
SECTION 3. That the Director of Finance is authorized to draw a warrant against the above Account Code in an amount not to exceed $210,000 in payment of the above authorized obligations upon presentation of the proper voucher.
SECTION 4. That this Ordinance, being an emergency measure, shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare and for the further reason to ensure that the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department is legally able to provide citywide EMS first responder and transport service.
