Summary

The committee approved forwarding a state‑contract purchase of a grant‑funded 2026 EMS vehicle and approved a grant‑funded $627,007.30 Motorola contract to refresh the county 9‑1‑1 system.

Committee members approved two grant‑funded procurements related to emergency services on Aug. 26. First, staff asked the committee to award a state‑contract purchase for a 2026 Dodge Durango configured for the EMS program. The purchase is covered by a grant and was presented as a replacement/spare for EMS operations; the committee approved moving the procurement forward. Second, staff presented a grant‑funded upgrade and refresh of the county’s 9‑1‑1 system. The project would purchase Motorola equipment via a Rockland County contract that the state has authorized for use; staff reported the contract amount at $627,007.30. Committee members approved the purchase, and staff said the upgrade is tied to an emergency-communications grant and will be implemented through grant procurement rules. Staff also updated the committee on the county’s EMS program rollout: applications are being received and equipment remains to be deployed, with partial operations underway as equipment and staffing come online.
