Farmington Town Council to Vote on Paramedic Contract

The proposed contract would be with the current provider, UConn Health Center.

The Town Council will vote Tuesday on whether to extend the contract with UConn Health Center to provide paramedic service to the town.

The new agreement would last until July 1, 2015. The contract includes a five percent increase in payment, bringing the total amount of payment up to $41,906. The center has provided paramedic service to the town for 25 years.

There is also language in the previous contract that requires farmington to support UConn’s designation as the primary service area responder at the paramedic level. The town would also request that AMR reassign the PSA for basic ambulance transport to the town.
