ACTION REQUEST
Consider and take action on Resolution No. 23-118, approving an extension of the agreement for professional services with Public Consulting Group, Inc. (PCG) to continue a program that provides additional revenue to the Fire Department EMS program through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Ambulance Supplemental Pay Program (ASPP).
BACKGROUND (Brief Summary)
The City initially contracted with PCG in 2015 to assist the City with its participation in the ASPP and since then the City has received in excess of two million dollars in supplemental income to the EMS program.
On October 21, 2020, the City Commission authorized the Mayor to enter into a second agreement with Public Consulting Group, Inc. to continue providing professional services related to the ASPP through Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The 2020 three-year agreement permits an extension of the agreement for two additional twelve-month periods. This request covers the first twelve-month extension period.
