THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Essentia Health EMS proposes to provide one 24/7 paramedic-level ambulance in Bayfield County under a five-year contract, with a co-dispatch model that supplements local volunteer agencies. Their financial proposal requests a county subsidy starting at $990,000 in year one, increasing each year, assuming the county furnishes a base facility. This shows Essentia’s interest and pricing for rural ALS coverage; if Bayfield selects another option, the proposal still identifies Essentia as a regional EMS player needing equipment, tech, and partners for any future expansions.
Proposal assumes Bayfield County will provide garage and crew quarters; if not, annual subsidy would increase by $95,000 to cover facilities. Essentia offers ALS intercepts, mutual aid, and regional backup from Superior, WI.

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.
When will Bayfield County issue an RFP for this project?
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.
How can vendors engage with Bayfield County before the RFP is published?
