Agenda 12/10/2024 Item #16B11 (Approve an Extension to Agreement between the GAC Land Trust and the Collier County Emergency Services Division (EMS) funding the purchase of ambulance and related equipment in the amount not to exceed of $352,000)12/10/2024
Item # 16.B.11
ID# 2024-2018
Executive Summary
Recommendation that the Board of County Commissioners (the "Board"), acting in their capacity as Trustee of the GAC
Land Trust and on behalf of Collier County Emergency Medical Services Division, approves an Extension to Agreement
to provide the Collier County Emergency Medical Services Division funding for the purchase of an ambulance, stretcher,
and cardiac monitor for EMS Station 74, located at the intersection of DeSoto Boulevard and Golden Gate Boulevard in
the amount not to exceed $352,000.
OBJECTIVE: For the Board to approve an Extension to Agreement between the GAC Land Trust and the Collier
County Emergency Services Division (EMS) funding the purchase of ambulance and related equipment in the amount
not to exceed of $352,000.
CONSIDERATIONS: On November 15, 1983, Avatar Properties Inc., and Collier County entered into an Agreement
(1983 Agreement) that dedicated 1,061.5 acres of property in Golden Gate Estates to the County. The dedication came
with the stipulation that the land itself or money derived from the sale of the land would be used by the Board for
purposes directly beneficial to the residents of Golden Gate Estates, i.e., fire and police protection facilities and services,
public schools, libraries, and recreational facilities.
At the November 14, 2022, regular meeting of the Golden Gate Estates Land Trust Advisory Committee (Committee),
EMS petitioned the Committee requesting funding to purchase an ambulance, stretcher, and cardiac monitor
(Equipment) in the amount not to exceed $352,000. Equipment will be housed at Station 74, located at the intersection
of DeSoto and Golden Gate Boulevards. The Committee recommended approving the funding request made by EMS.
The funding disbursement was required to be completed within twenty-four months of the Board’s execution of the
Agreement on January 10, 2025.
The Committee’s recommendation was approved by the Board on January 10, 2023, Agenda Item 16C6, and an
Agreement was executed requiring that the Equipment be purchased by January 10, 2025.
Higher-than-usual demands from ambulance manufacturers caused delays in production and delivery timelines, and on
July 31, 2024, EMS made a request to extend the deadline for equipment purchase under this Agreement. Accordingly,
staff recommends that the Board approve the attached Extension to Agreement, extending the purchase deadline for the
equipment to January 10, 2028.
EMS informed the Committee that it is currently in the process of obtaining three quotes for the equipment. Given the
time delay, it is likely that the cost of the equipment may exceed $352,000. If that is the case, EMS may make a separate
application to the Committee requesting additional funding and a separate amendment will be processed and presented
to the Board at a future Board meeting.
ADVISORY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: On September 14, 2024, the Committee recommended extending the
purchase deadline by 3 years to January 10, 2028.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Collier County Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for approval.
-SAA
RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the attached Extension to Agreement
and authorizes the Chairman to execute the attached Extension to Agreement.
