Background:Dr. Elam of Augusta Tech wishes to present a proposal
concerning forming a partnership between Augusta Tech and

protocols and delivery of training for the Augusta Fire
Department’s Emergency Services Training Center.

on training required in this program. It will benefit the Fire
Department by enhancing the training for our employees and
any citizens that want to make a career in Emergency
Services. This will provide a pool of applicants that the Fire
Department could draw from for future employment.
Financial Impact:With the establishment of this partnership, the Fire
Department may become eligible for training related grants
and possible state funding through scholarships and training
fees.

Department:Fire Department, Howard Willis, Chief
Caption:Approve awarding the Fire Department Medical Director bid
to the Medical College of Georgia.
Background:The Augusta Fire Department has advertised for Request for
Proposals for health care facilities to provide the service of
Medical Director for the Fire Department EMS First

presented the best package for RFP # 05-114 and is
recommended by the Augusta Fire Department. These

service. With the permission of the Procurement Department,
the services required and the fee for these services were
negotiated and meet both the Fire Department's requirements
stated in the RFP and the funds budgeted for this service.
Financial Impact:The Augusta Fire Department has included $30,000.00 in the
2006 operational budget for this program.
Alternatives:none recommended

of Georgia for providing the service of Medical Director for
the Augusta Fire Department.

Re: Medical Director Contract
I have review the only bid received for RFP 05-114 which was a bid to provide medical Direction for our
EMS System.
The proposal was submitted by the Medical Collage of Georgia, Department of Emergency Medicine’s
Center of Operational Medicine. They meet our qualifications and fulfilled all request of the RPF. The
sealed bid price was higher than we budgeted for the position and I met with Dr. Phillip Coule several
weeks ago to negotiate a price that would fit our budget. We determined that the hours for the project
could be reduced to 288 hrs/yr (24hrs month) without affecting the integrity of the program. With a
reduction in hours they agreed to reduce the price to $30,000 a year. All other component of the proposal
remain unchanged.
I have attached a letter from Dr. Coule to that affect and it is my recommendation that the change in hours
occur. That is the only change to the proposal (section D) and will in no way change the delivery of
service that we will expect.
Attached are all supporting documents, let me know if you need any other information.
