Feasibility Study for Emergency Medical Services

The Town of York, Maine seeks a qualified consulting firm to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study of its current Emergency Medical Services (EMS) delivery model and evaluate alternative service delivery options. The consultant will assess operational performance, financial sustainability, and stakeholder satisfaction of the existing contracted ambulance service, then develop comparative analyses of four alternative models—including competitive procurement, municipal service creation, regional authority, and innovative hybrids—complete with startup costs, operating budgets, revenue projections, and risk assessments. Deliverables include a final written report, executive summary, and presentations (kickoff, preliminary findings, and final Selectboard briefing). The work must be completed by November 2026, with a strong emphasis on meeting an aggressive schedule to support the town’s budgeting cycle. • Conduct operational and financial assessment of current EMS system. • Develop detailed financial analyses for at least four alternative EMS delivery models. • Provide strategic recommendations and presentation to Town Selectboard by November 2026.
