Limited License Ground Ambulance Interfacility Transport Services for St. George City

The City of St. George seeks proposals from qualified entities to provide limited emergency ambulance ground transport services, specifically between the Saint George Regional Airport and the Saint George Regional Hospital, including return transportation. The selected contractor must furnish trained and certified EMS personnel, ensure timely responses, operate required vehicles and facilities, coordinate with emergency entities, and maintain required insurance. Only onshore USA organizations licensed and certified to provide EMS services in Utah may apply, though the city must honor the statutory first right of the incumbent 911 provider under Utah SB 215. Proposers must submit an organizational structure, proof of Utah EMS licensure, a staffing plan, relevant rural experience, a proposed budget and fee schedule, and explanations of facility capabilities, billing practices, and cost, quality, and access goals. Proposals are due by 1200 hours on November 9, 2026. The city evaluates submissions using a 100-point scale covering firm qualifications and experience (30 points), staffing and resources (30 points), cost-effectiveness (20 points), quality goals (10 points), and access goals (10 points). The contract begins December 1, 2026, with the initial term to be specified in the final agreement.
