Consideration to renew and amend service contract with Dr. Arturo Garza-Gongora, licensed Family Medical Practice, in the annual amount of $95,000.00 to serve as Medical Director/Supervisor of pre-hospital care for the City of Laredo Fire Department as required by EMS National Registry. There is an 8% price increase due to the number of calls, approximately 35,000 per year, from licensed EMS personnel and assistance in preventive programs. These programs include the Opioid Response Team (ORT) and the minor care clinic for our unsheltered community members at Bethany House. Additionally, we have experienced a consistent 10% increase in EMS emergency responses every year, further justifying the need for this renewal and amendment. The term of this contract was for a period of three years with option to renew two additional years. This is the last extension period. Funding is available in the General Fund- Fire EMS.
