AMBULANCE TRANSPORT SERVICES FEASIBILITY STUDY AND OPTIONS ANALYSIS

The City of Encinitas is seeking a qualified consulting firm to conduct an independent feasibility study and options analysis for municipal ambulance transport services. The consultant will evaluate three potential models—city‑run, regional CSA‑17 partnership, and an enhanced status‑quo—and deliver a comprehensive report with financial, operational, technology, workforce, legal, and community‑engagement analyses. The scope includes data collection, demand forecasting, technology infrastructure assessment, benchmarking against comparable municipalities, and a full implementation roadmap, culminating in a final deliverable by June 2027. • Conduct baseline EMS system assessment and develop demand forecasts. • Perform financial, technology, workforce, and legal risk analyses for three service‑option scenarios. • Lead community engagement (≥ 400‑respondent survey, public town‑hall meetings) and produce an implementation roadmap with change‑management plans. • Deliver a final feasibility study report, financial model, and privileged legal‑risk memorandum. • Adhere to California Public Records Act, Brown Act, and required insurance/HIPAA safeguards.
