BACKGROUND: Due to ongoing supply chain impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, ambulance manufacturers are projecting at least a 24 month production/delivery timeframe from the date of order. Manufacturers have recommended emergency medical services agencies consider advance purchasing replacement units for this period of time to ensure delivery. At the May 24, 2022 Business meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the budget amendment for funding the purchase of three (3) ambulances as well as required equipment which are due to be replaced in the upcoming years. The delivery of these ambulances is expected in FY2023-24. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Excellance, Inc. has provided a price quote for $287,320.23 for each ambulance cab mounted on a 4X4 Ford Chassis, for a total cost of$861,960.69. Additional costs have been allocated in the approved budget amendment for the equipment necessary to supply the ambulances. A staff amendment to the Manager's Recommended Capital Investment Plan would reduce Emergency Services Vehicles Replacements in years 1-3 to offset this advanced purchase. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to this item: • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang activity, substance abuse and domestic violence.
