MEMORANDUM

MEMORANDUM

TO: Police and Fire Commission; Finance, Budget, and Personnel Committee; Marshfield Common Council

FROM: Scott M. Owen, Sr., Interim Fire Chief DATE: March 31, 2017 SUBJECT: Budget Resolution #03-2017

Background

Included within the 2017 budget is $37,482 for the replacement of the air compressor used to fill air bottles for our self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs). Over the past couple of years we have repaired the compressor multiple times, replacing gauges, valves, seals, etc. Deputy Chief DeGrand and Deputy Chief Clements have been working on the compressor replacement and were able to work with the current manufacturer on various items. The current manufacturer has offered to completely rebuild the entire compressor and “make it right” at a fraction of the cost of a new compressor. The initial estimated amount of the entire rebuild is $9,500 which is nearly $28,000 less than the budgeted amount. Deputy Chiefs DeGrand and Clements are confident in this rebuild as the manufacturer has placed guarantees on its functionality and life expectancy. Also initially included in the 2017 budget was approximately $14,250 to host a HAZMAT IQ class here at the station for all department members. This was eliminated from the budget due to parameters set by the Common Council. This cost of the class includes tuition and overtime for all department members. In addition, we have a hazardous materials refresher class yearly to maintain skills and competencies and this course would meet that requirement.

Analysis

With the savings realized from the compressor rebuild versus installation of an entirely new SCBA compressor, this request will allow us to fulfil two needs within the department – new air compressor and a class to help department members remain proficient in hazardous materials responses and detection. The class, if approved through the budget resolution process, will also be opened up to external departments to sign up for the class, thus decreasing our total cost to the class.

This budget resolution was approved by the Marshfield Police and Fire Commission on 4/6/2017.

DATE: April 14, 2017

TO: Finance, Budget & Personnel Committee

FROM: Steve Barg, City Administrator

RE: Review process – ambulance billing proposals and “in-house” option

Background

Last month, the Council authorized staff to seek proposals for ambulance billing services.

Staff recommended appointing a team to review the proposals and compare them with the

option of hiring ambulance billing staff, and make a recommendation to the Committee.

Instead, the Council voted to have the Committee review proposals at a regular meeting.

Since having the Committee conduct the review process is somewhat new territory, staff

wants to have a discussion with the Committee on how this might best be accomplished.

Review process

The deadline for proposals was April 7th

, and 5 were received. Staff has not opened them,

nor have we seen bid prices, which are supposed to be in separate sealed envelopes. Here

is what staff would suggest as a plan for your review and consideration on Tuesday night:

• Tuesday, April 18th

Finalize review process/timeline

• By Friday, April 21st Full proposals are sent to the FBP

• Week of April 24th

Staff conducts a high-level review and drafts a comparison,

based on a few key factors (qualifications/experience, client

list, compliance methods, etc.)

• Week of May 1st Special FBP meeting (review proposals, “in-house” option)

• Week of May 8th

Interview(s) with top candidates & another special meeting

• Tuesday, May 16th

FBP opens price quotes and discusses proposals along with

with the “in-house” option, and makes its recommendation

to the City Council

• Tuesday, May 23rd

Council review FBP recommendation/makes final decision

Open vs closed session In directing that proposals be reviewed by FBP, Council expressed its desire for openness

and transparency. Staff respects this viewpoint, but we believe that the Committee should

review the proposals in closed session. Unlike bids for construction projects, the City can

pursue any proposal that looks best suited to our needs, and we have the right to negotiate

with our preferred firm to address concerns, or to request any changes that we may want.

By having this discussion in open session, we would compromise that opportunity.

Recommendation

Staff recommends that Committee members review this issue before Tuesday’s meeting,

so that we can have a good discussion and finalize the review process at that time.

DATE: April 13, 2017 TO: Finance, Budget & Personnel Committee FROM: Steve Barg, City Administrator RE: Selecting firm for temporary ambulance billing services

Background

As you know, due to one recent retirement and one resignation, the City has been without its ambulance staff since March 7th. During the first 3 weeks of this time period (through April 6th), we’ve accrued nearly $100,000 in unbilled charges. Regardless of whether the City Council chooses to re-hire staff or contract with a qualified company for this service, it will likely be several weeks after a final decision before anything can be put into place. As a result, staff believes that the City should secure temporary assistance for the interim period, so that bills are sent to those who receive ambulance services. The City received 5 proposals in response to its recent RFP, and for obvious reasons, staff suggests that we do not pick one of these companies for this temporary assignment, as that could be perceived as giving them an advantage, if the Council ultimately decides to contract for this service.

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the FBP Committee recommend that the Council authorize staff to enter into a contract with a qualified firm for temporary ambulance billing service during this interim period.
