THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Ashland Fire Department has submitted a detailed proposal to provide a dedicated ALS/BLS ambulance as a supplemental EMS safety net for Bayfield County, with options for 3, 4, or 7 days per week and estimated annual costs from about $360,000 to $1.53 million. They propose starting part-time in 2027 and scaling to full-time, using existing fleet, billing infrastructure, and medical direction from Dr. Jonathan Shultz. Even if not selected, this reveals Ashland Fire’s capabilities, pricing, and interest in regional partnerships, which is useful for firms offering EMS equipment, software, staffing, or training to them or the county.
Proposal includes projected billing revenue of $547,500 per year, with net Bayfield County expense between about $320,000 and $1.1M depending on service level; Ashland holds a Wisconsin EMS provider license valid through 2029.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Bayfield County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
