• The intent of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to solicit proposals from qualified and experienced manufacturers of medical specialty vehicles for the purchase of at least, but not limited to, one (1) fully equipped mobile medical vehicle every year over the next five (5) years with rotation between neonate/pediatric specialty and adult/critical care/EMCO specialty transport. • These vehicles will provide emergency and non-emergency transport in addition to subspecialty services of pediatric, neonate, critical care, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). These vehicles will work in conjunction with subspecialists, RNs, MDs, Perfusionists, EMTs, and Paramedics at UKHC and KCH and deploy providers and care teams across the state on a scheduled frequency to care for patients, thus limiting the patient/family need to travel to Lexington for their care. • Each vehicle purchase made under this multi-year initiative will be subject to individual specification, development and negotiation. Specifications, equipment configurations, and pricing will be determined based on the operational requirements and clinical needs identified for each respective unit type (e.g., neonate/pediatric or adult/critical care/ECMO).
