Outsourcing Fire and Emergency Medical Services <br />February 21, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br />All ten fire stations in the City will remain operational. Any changes in fire suppression and <br />emergency medical response service station assignments must be agreed upon between the <br />Authority and the City. <br />Additionally, the City will seek a private provider of ambulance services. A Request for Proposals is <br />being distributed to solicit proposals which will then be approved by the City Council in a separate <br />action. The implementation of a private ambulance service will coincide with the April 20, 2012 <br />transfer date of the City's fire service to OCFA. If an interim service is required, a temporary <br />contractor will be assigned for a maximum of 90 to 120 days. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The FY11 -12 Budget has sufficient funding to cover the net cost resulting from transitioning Santa <br />Ana Fire to OCFA. The City will generate estimated annuals savings of $8.7M to $10M commencing <br />with fiscal year 2012 -13. <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br />Francisco Gutierrez <br />Executive Director <br />Finance & Management Services Agency <br />60C -2 <br />
