Agenda 09/22/2020 Item #16E 6 (COPCN for Ambitans Medical Transport, Inc.)16.E.6
09/22/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to renew the annual Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN)
for Ambitrans Medical Transport, Inc., to provide Class 2 Advanced Life Support (ALS) inter -
facility transport ambulance service for a period of one year.
OBJECTIVE: To provide County residents and visitors with ALS inter -facility transport services.
CONSIDERATIONS: A COPCN renewal may be approved routinely by the Board as provided by
Section 50-60 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances governing medical transportation
services. Ambitrans inter -facility transport was granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
by the Board on October 25, 2011 and it has since been annually renewed. Staff deemed Ambitrans'
renewal application as complete and recommends that the COPCN be renewed for one year. A Class 2
operator provides post -hospital inter -facility medical transfer services, both within and outside the
County.
Section 50-60 of the Code of Laws and Ordinances provides:
Each certificate holder shall file within 90 days of expiration, an application for renewal of his
certificate. Renewals shall be based upon the same standards, as the granting of the original
certificate along with such other factors as may be relevant. The renewal application shall be
accompanied by a $250.00 renewal fee. The renewal certificate may be approved routinely by the
board, upon advice of the administrator, or the board may hold a hearing on same.
These requirements have been met and the administrator recommends renewal. The Emergency Medical
Authority reviewed the application on August 12, 2020, and unanimously recommended to the Board that
the Certificate be renewed.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact to the Board for the granting of this certificate. The Board
is requested to accept and recognize as revenue in Fund (490) the $250.00 application fee with the
corresponding application.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: A hearing is not required for renewal. If a hearing is held, the Board
must find that the standards set forth in Section 50-57 of the Code of Laws and Ordinances have been
satisfied based on competent evidence as follows:
(1) That there is a public necessity for the service. In making such determination, the Board of
County Commissioners shall consider, as a minimum, the following factors:
a. The extent to which the proposed service is needed to improve the overall emergency
medical services (EMS) capabilities of the County.
b. The effect of the proposed service on existing services with respect to quality of service
and cost of service.
C. The effect of the proposed service on the overall cost of EMS service in the county.
d. The effect of the proposed service on existing hospitals and other health care facilities.

service.
(3) That, if applicable, there is an adequate revenue base for the proposed service.
(4) That the proposed service will have enough personnel and equipment to adequately cover the
proposed service area.
This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for approval. - JAB

Necessity to Ambitrans Medical Transport, Inc., for a period of one year.
