SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Top officials with the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department asked Wednesday for a chance to make a bid to bring the city’s ambulance services back in-house, instead of being handled by an outside contractor.
Emergency medical services in the city are conducted under a deal with a private company, Rural/Metro, that was recently extended for one year.
Because of some legal issues, the city of San Diego might not be able to bring ambulance services back in-house by decree, but would have to solicit bids — in which case the SDFRD can be one of the competitors.
