It is a interesting read I must say. It guarantees the city a lot and new buses 1 & 3s. Out of the 4 no maybe only 3 companies can bid. They ask for 3 years with no bankruptcies. The company is going to be sending its employees to DMV Will the company pay for the lic upgrade. I have my class E, but never have I ever had a company request. That ands money on the renewal.
Vent onboard, why not. The company I work for requires this. Yes dmc2007, we are able to. Makes easy work on a arrest with little help available.

On the topic of offering to create a joint system with Pelham-that seems like a pretty clear indication that the contract is empress' to lose, no?  Either way that sounds like a great way to improve service to Pelham at the same time by consolidating systems-something Westchester (and mass too, among others) could use more of. 
 
The equipment section of the contract had a few interesting points. Granted, it's been a while since my NY card lapsed, and even longer since I actually spent any significant time volunteering there (and only at the Bls level), but the inclusion of video scopes and BiPAP capable vents was a surprise. Are a lot of services in Westchester moving to video scopes?  As for the vents, are medics in ny allowed to initiate them (either for incubated patients or as NIV)?  Or is that provision there for stat transfers out of SSMC/monte north?

Funny how everyone thinks it's a fire department decision. It's up to the politicians to determine if they want the FD to do it. And currently under NY States tax cap if it costs more, it means something else must get cut. Even if it were to be a better service, it's all about $$$$

This is not a contract it's a request for proposals 
 
its illegal to give a no bid contract with government money to a private person or company 

Interesting,  but I don't see cup holders? Wait a sec I see two. Ok

Will be very interesting to see how they can do this they don't even have a dozen ambulances. Plus I am not 100 sure the guy who bought from Hudson valley paramedic who then end up selling it or moving into Emstar because of insurance billing issue !!

So I was watching news 12 just now and either they were using old news footage and making it look like it was live or my eyes doth did just see a MLSS box ambulance in New Rochelle as part of the Presidential motorcade. Yes/No/Maybe/None-of-the-above?

I think this guy should be given a fair trial, judged by a jury of his peers (us), followed by a first class hanging!

I had been a AEMTI from 1997 till 2006 & had worked as a I at Empress as well as other locations. Yes places are still using I's & CCs. 2 of my present partners are. I tell you from experience that taking the I & working as a I is great experience & is a step to be a better medic.
Yes times are changing & I am not to sure of the future of these programs. If you can find a class take it. Knowledge is never a waist of time

It is not Ambulance company "A" and ambulance company "B" its "F & B" ambulance and "Unit" ambulance.

Hey, I'm sorry. I did take the comment the wrong way. I was tired & a bit punchy with everything that is going on. Right wrong indifferent just some stuff is getting to me.
I work for the company & I have nothing to do with those above me. What I will say is. That for myself & the others bring our best to every call or pt we care for. I find it funny that I have seen EMTS & others bs when they don't get their way. Like mocking a medic that has done & seen more than they could ever think of. Like, J B, Ralph & a few others. I would suggest that some people put the clip board down & pickup the airway bag.
Once again to a few of you that I know & admire for your skills knowledge & friendship. I am sorry if I have offended any of you.
