Recommendation to approve an Interlocal Agreement between the Board of County Commissioners (Board) and the
Greater Naples Fire Rescue District (GNFRD), allowing Collier County EMS (CCEMS) to house an Advanced Life
Support (ALS) Transport Ambulance and provide the additional staffing at Station 63 on Interstate I-75.
OBJECTIVE: To provide an enhanced level of service for the delivery of pre-hospital care by placing an ALS transport
unit and additional staffing at Station 63 on Interstate I-75.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) opened the mile marker 63 station in 2014.
Greater Naples Fire Rescue District has an ALS Engine located at Station 63. This apparatus is staffed with a
combination of three firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics from GNFRD and one paramedic firefighter from Collier
County EMS.
On June 3, 2025, staff was provided direction by the Board to coordinate with GNFRD on the placement of a transport
unit at the mile marker 63 station. The addition of an Advanced Life Support transport unit on Alligator Alley will
enhance the delivery of pre-hospital care in Collier County.
FISCAL IMPACT: Existing county paramedics will be utilized to staff the ALS transport ambulance. Collier County
EMS is responsible for the salaries of its personnel. No rental payments will be required, as the services provided are
essential to public safety and emergency response. Funding for this initiative is available in Fund 4050.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action has no impact on growth management.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved as to form and legality. A majority vote is
