Event Ambulance and Paramedic Services

This contract calls for an independent‑contractor to provide exclusive event ambulance and paramedic services for all Arkansas State University events, including major venues such as Centennial Bank Stadium and First National Bank Arena. The vendor must staff ALS‑capable ambulances, provide backup units, staff first‑aid rooms, and maintain a dispatcher presence for football games. All crews must arrive at least 15 minutes before doors open and remain on‑site for at least 30 minutes after event close, with replacement coverage if a patient transport occurs. The contract is a firm‑fixed‑price, hourly‑rate arrangement with a five‑year base term starting December 1 2026 and may be extended up to two additional one‑year periods. The university will pay only the standby service rates; patient transport billing is the vendor’s responsibility. The procurement is open competition, and the intent‑to‑award indicates two vendors (Medic One and Chris Nugent) will receive awards.
