THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Unified Fire Authority has been operating a Low Acuity Unit (LU101) since August 1, 2025, based at Station 101 in Millcreek, staffed Monday–Thursday from 0900–1900, and has responded to 438 incidents to date (about three per day). The May 2026 Emergency Services Report notes that UFA is on its third personnel rotation for the trial program and is observing a roughly 12% reduction in call volume on Medic Engine 101 in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025, indicating positive system impact.
Leadership is actively refining the model—adjusting rotation offsets and shift times—and funding for continuation of the low acuity pilot (~$198,862) is identified as a one‑time use of fund balance in the FY 2026–2027 budget message. This suggests that decisions are pending on whether to formalize, expand, or scale the program to other stations or time periods. Vendors that provide low‑acuity response vehicles, community paramedicine software, nurse navigation/telehealth, scheduling and analytics tools, or EMS workflow consulting can help UFA optimize this pilot and plan for data‑driven expansion.
Program currently operates four days per week and is designed to divert lower‑priority medical calls away from high‑demand transport and suppression units.

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 Unified Fire Authority issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Unified Fire Authority'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 Unified Fire Authority before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
