Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on awarding RFP #22RFP72 Billing Services for EMS to the highest scoring proposer, EMS Management & Consultants, Inc., and authorizing the execution of the agreement. 

Due to the incumbent not being able to continue services, Williamson County issued new RFP.  The Purchasing Department issued 984 notifications for this solicitation to seek suppliers to provide Billing Services. Nine (9) responses were received of which three (3) vendors were shortlisted and invited for a presentation. After an in depth review the evaluation committee recommends award to the highest scoring proposer, EMS Management and Consultants, Inc.  The FY 2022 Budgeted Amount is $515,000 which pays for the billing services. Revenue depends on billable calls for EMS services and is deposited into 01.0100.000.342800 General Fund Revenue for EMS fees.  3.8% of net collections minus any refund and adjustments will be the new fee for the services with a separate fee of 8.0% for transfer and recovery of outstanding accounts receivables from previous vendor.  Funding source is 01.0100.0540.004101.  Beth Jones is the department point of contact.
