Two (2) Year Contract - EMS Services

The Jefferson Parish Government, through the Department of Citizens’ Affairs, is soliciting a two-year contract for medical services to provide coverage for the Westbank Carnival Parades during the 2027 and 2028 seasons. The contract period runs from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2028. The selected vendor must provide two ambulances and two ASAP Polaris carts for each event, each staffed by two providers, with at least one provider per unit operating at the ALS skilled paramedic level. Crews are required to arrive one hour before the scheduled parade and will be released by the EMS parade commander after crowds have dispersed, with approximate coverage lasting six hours per event. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. To be considered responsive, bidders must provide final insurance certificates complying with Jefferson Parish Resolutions 136353 or 141125 within ten calendar days of the bid opening, as well as a properly notarized worker's compensation insurance declaration affidavit. The vendor is expected to maintain operations that meet or exceed industry standards and comply with all applicable laws and non-discrimination policies. Payment will be made based on negotiated hourly charges, with detailed invoices submitted to the Department of Citizens’ Affairs. Personnel must be properly trained and respectful, and the Parish reserves the right to request the removal of any unsatisfactory staff.
